Hi Maricyl! :)

Hinde naman, but I’m not sure until when it’s still good to eat, I never got a chance to experiment kase 2 days max lang nagtatagal sa min ‘to but this is not the same as the yema candy which can last for more than a week kase aside from the potato, it has lots of egg yolks din. I’ll try to make it again and experiment..I hope I’ll find the time to do it *fingers crossed*

Hi Olive ~ Thank you so much for sharing your recipe! I’ve seen other recipes where they include chopped peanuts…have you seen this and do you have any idea what that does to the yema, ie, for flavor or texture perhaps?

Hi Ana!

I’m so sorry that I wasn’t able to reply on time to you when you needed it (your comment was buried under thousands of spam..d*mn those spam bots) but to answer your question still: yes, you may use camote or sweet potato, even squash actually and they’re all equally yummy..

Yes .. I remember my H.E teacher and we have tried using 1/2-C of melted butter , 2- Eggyolks 1 can condensed milk & 1-C. milk powder & 1-C. grated cheese… you have to cook all ings. and when it becomes sticky & almost dry just refrigerate the cooked Yema and rolled into white sugar , although we also tried dipping in caramel it will harden when completely cooled..either way, rolled into sugar or caramel best way to do it is to refrigerate them for hours until its hard …

Hi Babes :)
I haven’t tasted yema balls with grated cheese, we do that with pichi-pichi BUT I think I will try your grandma’s version of yema.. I think the mild saltiness of cheese will add a nice contrast to the sweetness of yema..thanks! :)
