What's Yema?
Yema is basically a delicious custard candy made from grinned/chopped peanuts, egg yolks and condensed milk. A snack or dessert that's very common in the Philippines and probably one of the easiest to create. Yema is usually wrapped in a colored cellophane.
The ingredients needed are readily available and this does not require a lot of cooking and preparation time. Yema Balls are cylindrical shaped yema and is commonly skewered on a stick for a more convenient eating pleasure.
There several ways to present this dessert. One of the most common is the Pyramid version where-in Yema is scooped and placed inside individually cut cellophane then molded by hand until the shape becomes pyramid-like. Others roll the mixture until the shape becomes spherical and place them in a small paper cup or use some frill picks to go with it.
With that brief knowledge in mind let's get on with the cooking.
