How do you make yema? (the kind that looks like a pyramid and no eggyolks)?

Question

This kind of yema tastes like caramel and is wrapped in cellophane

Answer 1

You know legend has it that yema balls were first made during the spanish era . they found a way to use up the excess yolk while the egg whites are used for the foundation of churches. (looking at the size and number of churches here, there must be a lot of yema balls made) . *this is usually served wrapped in colored cellophane. this is also very sweet. i really dont know how long it takes to make and how many servings.

Yema Balls With Mashed Potato

Answer 3

1 can of sweetened condensed milk will do if you want to test it.
Pour all contents of can in a skillet. (don't use stainless steel pan as the milk will quickly goes brown.
Set skillet over medium heat, constantly stir milk until it goes light brown. You can test if the yema can be shaped like balls or pyramids as you say... by dropping a teaspoonful of it in a cup of water. It should stay in its form and the water still a bit clear.
To add twist for your yema:
-drop in some roasted unsalted peanuts/cashew or any other nuts
or kellogs corn flakes / rice krispies, while you are cooking it.

BTW, are you spanish or filipino?
