Christmas Cheesecake (Purple Yam)

"I’m back with another no bake cheesecake recipe, and this one is super awesome. So awesome that I will be making it a few times this year, because it’s perfect for the holidays season. You’re probably wondering if purple yams taste good in a cheesecake right? Well I assure you they do, purple yams are often cooked in cakes in the Philippines, in a cheesecake known as “Ube” and is often eaten boiled or as a sweetened jam called ube halayá; the latter is a popular ingredient in the iced dessert called halo-halo. Plus these purple yams are packed with vitamins, such as A, C and are a good source of copper, dietary fiber, vitamin B6, potassium and iron. Purple Yams are also known to improve blood sugar regulation and some studies have discovered significant antibacterial and antifungal properties. If that is not more reason to enjoy them this holiday season in a cheesecake then I don’t know what is!"
