Quick and Easy Yema Recipe

Posted on November 3, 2017May 30, 2018 by cookingpinoy

Looking for something sweet and creamy to satisfy your crave? You should try making this quick and easy yema recipe.
Yema is a type of custard candy made from egg yolks and condensed milk. This is a common Filipino dessert and one of the easiest to make. The ingredients needed are readily available and this does not require a lot of cooking and preparation time. Yema Balls are ball-shaped yema that are perfect for dessert.
There are several ways to present this dessert – the most common is the use of colored cellophane. The mixture is scooped and placed inside individually cut cellophane then manually molded until the shape becomes pyramid-like. Others roll the mixture until the shape becomes spherical and place them in a small paper cup or use some frill picks to go with it.

Ingredients
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • ½ kilo white suga
Instructions
  1. In a frying pan or pot, mix the egg yolks, condensed milk, and vanilla until well blended.
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat to prevent the mixture from burning.
  3. Using a metal spatula, stir the milk as if you are scraping the bottom of the pan. Stir constantly.
  4. This must be done continuously to avoid burning the milk and to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  5. The mixture is ready when it forms a ball. Let it cool.
  6. When cool, form the mixture into balls about 2 to 3 cm in diameter.
  7. Place the yema balls on a wide plate with white sugar then roll; once coated, pick up each ball with a toothpick. Set aside to cool.
  8. When cool, wrap the balls in cellophane and twist both ends to secure.
