I didn’t know that making Yema is so simple. Try it when you get a chance!

Ingredients:

1 can condensed milk
2 tbsps butter
4 pcs egg yolks
1 tbsp rum

How to cook:

1. Combine egg yolks and condensed milk in double boiler.

2. Cook until thick, mixing continuously. Remove from heat. Add butter and rum. Cool.

Yema version 2

Ingredients:

1 can condensed milk
12 egg yolks

Procudure:

1. Mix condensed milk and egg yolks in a sauce pan (a double boiler – which is basically a small pan inside a big pan containing water – works wonder for this).

2. Cook mixture under medium – high heat, stirring continuously until the mixture coagulates and separates from the pan.

3. Cool.

4. Shape into pyramids and wrap with cellophane cut into squares.

@steve – sorry but you won’t find any of those kinds of ingredients online at the internet because almost everyone in the Philippines are trying to make money out of these Yema Triangles so finding those kinds of recipes is difficult.
