A creamy, naturally purple Halloween punch made with real ube, coconut milk, and maple syrup. It’s kid-friendly, vegan, and ready in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups unsweetened full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1½ cups ube powder
  • 3 cups cold water
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup coconut cream (chilled overnight)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar or monk fruit sweetener
  • Black sesame seeds for garnish
  • Edible flowers or purple basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, combine ube powder with 1 cup cold water. Whisk vigorously until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Stir the canned coconut milk in the can, then pour into the ube mixture and whisk until fully combined.
  3. Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk again. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  4. Add remaining 2 cups cold water and whisk gently. Transfer to a serving cauldron or pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. For the garnish: In a mixing bowl, beat chilled coconut cream and powdered sugar with a hand mixer until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes). Refrigerate until serving.
  6. Just before serving, stir the punch. Ladle into cups. Top with a dollop of coconut cream, sprinkle with black sesame seeds, and add an edible flower or purple basil leaf if desired.
  7. Serve cold. Optionally, place the cauldron on a table with dry ice for a smoking effect (handle dry ice safely).

Notes

Ube powder is essential for the best color and flavor; do not substitute with taro powder. For a lower sugar version, use monk fruit sweetener. For an adult version, add 1 ounce of coconut rum or vanilla vodka per serving. The punch can be made up to 2 days ahead; flavors improve after 24 hours. Do not freeze.
