Steps:
- Arrange an oven rack in the center position. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Set an 8- or 9-inch pie dish inside a large roasting pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and eggs. Add the sugar and whisk to combine. Whisk in the evaporated milk, then the sweetened condensed milk. Add the ube flavoring and whisk until well combined.
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve to get rid of any eggy bits, then pour the strained custard into the pie dish. Carefully fill the roasting pan with hot water, filling halfway up the sides of the pie dish. Cover the roasting pan with foil.
- Carefully transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the custard is mostly set with a slight jiggle in the center.
- Remove the pie dish from the steam bath and let cool to room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator to set overnight.
- Make the graham cracker crumble: In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and Greek yogurt until combined. The crumble should be moist enough to gather in a ball, but not too dry or wet to hold its shape when poked.
- Spread the graham cracker crumble over the chilled pie and spread evenly, all the way to the edges.
- Sprinkle a light dusting of granulated sugar over the graham cracker crust and gently brûlée with a kitchen torch until caramelized for a smoky finish. (Alternatively, broil for 1-2 minutes). Sprinkle purple sanding sugar on top, if desired.
- Enjoy!

UBE PIE
Ube, a purple yam native to the Asian tropics, is a common ingredient in Filipino desserts. It's no surprise that colorful dishes made with ube have done well on Instagram, prompting the invention of drinks, custards, cakes and sweet breads in cities across the United States. This recipe is adapted from Café 86 in Artesia, Calif., where co-owner Ginger Dimapasok serves an ube chess pie that's particularly popular around Thanksgiving. The earthy, vanilla flavor of the yam adds color and depth to the sweet, buttery filling. You can find frozen mashed ube - and ube flavoring, which ensures a deep purple hue - at Filipino markets. Okinawa sweet potatoes, or Japanese purple sweet potatoes, can also be substituted.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt. Stir in the melted butter (mixture will look like wet sand). Press into the bottom and up the sides of a standard (not deep-dish) 9-inch pie pan; set aside.
- Prepare the filling: Remove grated ube from package and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons water. Microwave until cooked, 3 to 4 minutes. (The mixture should feel smooth between your fingers, like thick mashed potato.) Measure out 1 1/4 cups/300 grams cooked ube, and reserve the remainder for another use.
- Transfer the 1 1/4 cups cooked ube to a food processor. Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar and process on low until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs, melted butter, heavy cream, ube flavoring, if using, and salt, and process just until combined and no streaks remain. Pour filling into prepared crust.
- Bake pie on center rack until slightly puffed around the edges and just set in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely before serving at room temperature or chilled. Covered and refrigerated, the pie will keep up to 2 days.
