Popsugar Living Grocery Shopping Trader Joe's Ube Ice Cream Ube Ice Cream Has Arrived at Trader Joe's, and Shoppers Are Already Buying It in Bulk 24 June 2019 by Perri Konecky View this post on Instagram New Ube Ice Cream at Trader Joe’s. YASSS! Would you try this? A post shared by Snack Betch (@snackbetch) on Jun 19, 2019 at 3:03pm PDT It's been a few years since ube (pronounced oo-beh) made its way to the United States and the bright purple hue took over our Instagram feeds, but Trader Joe's latest product is bringing it right back where it belongs: our shopping carts. The grocery store recently added Ube Ice Cream to its selection of drool-inducing frozen desserts, and it's already flying off shelves. For those who aren't familiar with ube, it's a purple yam from the Philippines and is often used as the base flavour for delicious desserts like ice cream and doughnuts. According to Trader Joe's, the ice cream is "sweet & nutty, with hints of coconut; some liken it to a cross between vanilla & pistachio." It's made with real ube purée and a pint is only $3. Making the news even more exciting, shoppers are LOVING it. One person wrote, "@traderjoes you KILLED IT WITH THIS!!! the Ube flavour is perfect and consistency is soft and fluffy and smooth just WOW." With another writing, "it's friggin awesome and addicting." Check out how people are loving Trader Joe's Ube Ice Cream ahead, and run to your local store because this is selling out fast!

For those who have tried is already, what do you think it tastes like? - #howtotraderjoe #traderjoes #ilovetraderjoes #traderjoeslist #traderjoesfinds #traderjoeshaul #traderjoeslove #ube #purpleyam #ubeicecream #icecream #weallscreamforicecream A post shared by How To Trader Joe (@howtotraderjoe) on Jun 22, 2019 at 4:30pm PDT 5 / 23 View this post on Instagram 🤩🤩New item: Ube ice cream!! Totally love it! 💜 •🌸 Trader Joe’s has been my go to place to pick up some really cool groceries at great prices, and this is their new hyped item: Ube ice cream!! 😍😍 Even it says ube, it tastes more like taro milk tea rather than purple yam in my opinion but I am totally fine with it! Texture is creamy, slightly sweet, and you can taste some very little small chunks of yam inside🍠 •🌸 I’ve been always confused between ube and taro but as long as it taste good, I don’t really care 🤣 And it’s only $2.99!! Highly recommend to go grab one at your local Trader Joe’s before it’s gone 💨 •• #foodielikekk ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ 📍 Trader Joe’s, CA A post shared by KK | SF Bay Area Foodie (@foodielikekk) on Jun 19, 2019 at 4:30pm PDT 6 / 23 View this post on Instagram #traderjoes #traderjoesfinds #ubeicecream A post shared by Trish Merritt (@trish_merritt) on Jun 19, 2019 at 10:10am PDT 7 / 23 View this post on Instagram Trader Joe’s continues to up its Asian game with their Ube flavored ice cream 🍨🍦 . Ube is a purple yam and a staple dessert ingredient in the Philippines. Its not Taro but there are some similarities. .

I showed my mom a picture from their summer flyer and it was the first and only time I ever heard her say we have to go to Trader Joe’s. She said to get two pints and I did. We nearly finished the first. There wasn’t very many left at the store. It was the ice cream that was almost gone. FYI, Ube is a purple yam that Filipinos use for their desserts so my parents were happy. My mom said it was great but could have been more purple. And at $2.99 a pint not bad really. #traderjoes #traderjoeslove #traderjoesfinds #filipino #filipinoparents #ube #purpleyam A post shared by @ jinxdoll on Jun 23, 2019 at 6:43am PDT 17 / 23 View this post on Instagram ✨New ᑌᗷE (ᑭᑌᖇᑭᒪE Yᗩᗰ) IᑕE ᑕᖇEᗩᗰ ᖇEᐯIEᗯ✨ ($2.99) 💜🍨💜🍨💜🍨🍨I'm so excited TJ's sells UBE ice cream which is basically a purple yam rich in potassium and vitamin c. I've had my fair share of ube ice cream & halo-halo (Filipino dessert with sweet beans, evap milk, ice and ube ice cream) and I approve this deliciousness. It's alot more creamy than what I'm used to but it's friggin awesome and addicting. It's more like a frozen milk shake... Try it (even though it might seem weird).. You won't regret it! Please excuse the meltedness..

Ended up going back today to pick one up & it’s pretty good. A little on the sweeter side compared to other ube ice creams I’ve tried and a little gritty from the ube, but worth a try for $2.99 a pint!
