How Do You Make Yema Candy?
Yema is a Filipino candy, traditionally anyway but it’s meaning has evolved. New school of thoughts have refined the basic sugar and condensed milk candy to whole new level. The modern Yema now includes peanut butter and powdered milk. This is the step – up version of the classic Yema. This is softer than the old Yema and is more delicious. Other variations exist. This recipe is powdery but very sweet like the tamarind candy. • Mix the condensed milk, sugar and peanut butter in a sauce pan and boil for a few minutes just to dissolve the sugar particles. • Boil for a few minutes until sticky consistency and just before you turn the stove off, add the powdered milk and mix thoroughly. Don’t worry cause it is really supposed to feel powdery when you eat it. Cool it down before wrapping it in plastic.
