Ube pot de crème is a decadent dessert made with white chocolate and ube extract. Once baked you should let it rest for at least three hours in the fridge before you can enjoy it. But once the custard has set, all you have to do is make sure not to eat it too fast!

Preheat the oven 150°C (300°F). In a bowl add egg yolks and sugar. Whisk and set aside. In a pot, add heavy cream, coconut milk, milk, and white chocolate then place on a stove on low heat. Gently stir as the white chocolate melts. When the white chocolate has completely melted, remove from the stove.
Add the hot mixture to the bowl of egg yolks slowly as you whisk the egg yolks. Then add the ube extract and mix all the ingredients together until well incorporated.
Strain the custard mix into a container with a spout.
Pour the mixture into ramekins and gently tap the ramekins to remove air bubbles. Then place the ramekins in a deep baking dish. Add hot water to the baking dish filling it up about halfway of the height of the ramekins.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the custard is slightly jiggly. Remove the ramekins from the hot water and let it sit on the counter to reach room temperature.
Cover the cooled ramekins and place on the fridge for about 3 hours. Serve it plain or topped with whipped cream.
