# Step-by-Step Instructions:

In a separate bowl, whisk ube halaya, coconut milk, water, egg, and vanilla extract (if using) until the mixture is smooth.

Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
05 -
Lightly grease the molds and fill each about three-quarters full with batter.
06 -
Sprinkle chosen optional toppings evenly over each filled mold.
07 -
Cover molds and steam for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow puto to cool in molds for a few minutes before removing and serving.
# Extra Tips:
