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.
