Yema
Yema are custard candies we inherited from Spanish colonizers of 300 years. The candy now is more filipino for we have added our own touch on it.
Ingredients:
2 cans of condensed milk
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon of melted butter
3 tablespoons of chopped langka (jack fruit)
3 tablespoons of chopped nuts
Procedure:
In a bowl cream the egg yolk and condensed milk. Then pour in a casserole and cook slowly over medium fire. You should continue mixing it to avoid sticking. Cook it until it thickens. Add your chopped nuts and jackfruit. Let it cool and form the shape you want.
2 cans of condensed milk
plastic cellophane for wrapping
Directions:
- You will have to use a regular frying pan to get the best result, not the non-stick one.
- Pour the condensed milk in pan and put on medium heat.
- Using a metal spatula, stir the milk as if you are scraping the bottom of the pan.
- This must be done continuously to avoid burning the milk and to prevent it from sticking at the bottom of the pan. This will also ensure that it is cooked evenly.
- You can tell that the yema is done if your condensed milk sticky.
- Let it cool and wrap in cellophane cut outs for easy serving.

can i ask if this recipe would result to a Yema that after some time will harden, not necessarily very hard but rather with dry texture and not a sticky one after you get it out from the refrigerator??
thanks!!

Hi.
I made this and it was chewy. I guess I expected it to be a bit dry (like those sold in the Phils). Did I do something wrong with this recipe?

I’m confused by this recipe. The first part has 2 cans of condensed milk and eggs etc. followed by the procedure, then it is followed by 2 cans condensed milk and cellophane wrapper, followed by more directions to cook the condensed milk???!!! Please clarify.

Try the best custard candy in town at Mc Domeng Hamburgers located in Obando, Bulacan. Surely you’re gonna crave for more. Truly the best Bulacan Sweets to enjoy.

Best candy ever I think.
Ang sarap! Sa party ko ito gagawin.
October 6th, 2010 at 1:27 am
This recipe is confusing. There is a procedure with eggs and another direction with just condensed milk. What is the correct one?
