Yema is a custard candy from the Philippines which is made with egg yolks, condensed milk, and butter. The name Yema is from Spanish for "egg yolk". It's so easy to make with simple and cheap ingredients you can easily find in your pantry. All you have to do is mix the ingredients altogether and cook it until it gets really thick and golden in color. Once that’s done, that last step is to let it cool and then form it to whatever shape you want! In this recipe, the Yema Is formed into balls and rolled in white sugar. I like the extra texture and sweetness the sugar adds. This step also makes the candy less sticky. They're soft and chewy with a flavor resembling caramel. With just a few ingredients you have a delicious treat to satisfy your sweet tooth in one bite. YEMA (MILKY CARAMEL CANDY) makes 26 pieces INGREDIENTS 3 Egg yolks 1 can (300ml) Condensed milk 2 tablespoons Salted Butter White Sugar for coating (optional) Watch the video for full step-by-step. TIPS • For a smoother texture: Make sure to continuously stir the mixture while cooking to avoid any lumps and prevent the egg yolks from scrambling. • Adjust sweetness: You can reduce or skip the sugar coating if you prefer a less sweet treat, or add a bit more if you like it extra sugary! • Storage: Store your Yema in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate them for up to 2 to 3 weeks. • Traditional shapes: While I shaped mine into balls, pyramids (triangles) are the usual shape for Yema in the Philippines. However, you can make them in any shape you like—balls, squares, or even pyramids! After shaping, they are often wrapped in cellophane or plastic wrap for easy handling and presentation.
