Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Mix base ingredients in a large bowl: combine Ube Halaya, condensed milk, powdered milk, and salt until a dough-like consistency forms.
  2. Adjust texture by adding more powdered milk or condensed milk as needed to achieve a malleable dough.
  3. Shape the pastillas by rolling small portions of dough into logs or balls and placing them on a lined tray.
  4. Coat each shaped pastilla in granulated sugar, pressing lightly to adhere.
  5. Refrigerate the coated pastillas for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up.
  6. Serve and enjoy the Ube Pastillas, optionally wrapping them in candy wrappers for a decorative touch.
