Yam milkshake recipe

Yam is not a common ingredient in Western desserts and drinks but is quite commonly used. I first chance upon its taste during my travels to Hong Kong. I had a taste of their Yam paste for dessert and it was marvelous. The paste was think and rich with yam taste plus a heavy dose of sweet coconut milk.  I was thinking about it and decided to do a round of yam milkshake recipe so that you can try this ingredient for yourself.

Luckily, I found one Filipino blogger who has kindly given her recipe on how to make a yam milkshake. It is easy to follow and the only ingredient you might have problem with is the yam cubes. If you can find that, then making this drink is easy.
