I’m not that sweets addict. But I love to eat something sweet after every meal, pantanggal umay kumbaga.
There you have the buko salad, fruit salad, leche flan, gelatin, cake, anu pa?
Batangueños usually have these desserts when celebrating any occasion especially during fiesta.
But what if there’s no important occasion?
What’s your instant dessert after every meal?
It’s my habit to buy anything that’s sweet after every meal, and my favorite, “yema”. Kahit saan dito sa Batangas meron nyan. 😉
It is a custard candy made from egg yolk and milk.
Instant dessert, I don’t have to look for that sweet food that will take time to cook. You can easily buy it in your favorite sari-sari store.
But if you want to cook your own version of “yema” , here’s how:
Yema Recipe
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
2 cans of condensed milk
plastic cellophane for wrappingProcedure:
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.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.
