Very good ube extract to make all kinds of desserts. They were packed in bubble wrap so they arrived undamaged. I opted to make Ube Tres Leches with this. It's super simple to use white cake mix and drops of ube extract into the cake mix. 3 different milks, condensed, evaporated and whole/low-fat and add ube extract to the milks. Then make your own whipping cream adding powdered sugar to the cream with and your favorite extract.
