• Fill a stockpot with water. Add the yams and cover with water. Turn the stove to medium-high heat. Boil the yams until fork tender. Drain the water.
• Transfer the yams to a bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the yams.
• Use a clean pot, and add the mashed yams, sugar, butter, coconut oil, and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. At the end of cooking add the vanilla, and stir to mix well.
• Transfer the cooked yams to a platter and cool.
• Work the bread dough. Dust a clean surface with flour. Roll the dough into 12"-14" diameter. Spread the cooled purple yam and roll the dough to form a log. Cut it into even parts.
• Grease a 9" baking pan or dish. Place the rolled ube rolls into the prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap and lay a kitchen towel over it. Rest for 20-25 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

• This is optional. In a bowl, add the cream cheese, and mix until fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and heavy cream. Mix until smooth.
• Make sure the Ube Rolls are completely cooled before frosting.
