3 Ingredient Ube Icebox Pie

There’s something magical about a dessert that looks bakery-worthy but takes almost no effort. This 3-Ingredient Ube Icebox Pie is creamy, fluffy, lightly sweet, and naturally stunning with its rich violet-amethyst color. Even better? It’s completely no-bake and comes together in minutes.
