CLASSIC YEMA or MILK CANDY

 I was craving Yema these past few days. I remember when I
was in elementary and high school, I used to buy Yema from my
classmates. It is so addictive. You can't stop eating it. I don't know what makes it so addictive, must be the milk. My classmates sell it for .50 cents before, ha ha, now I don't know how much one cost. I remember using my whole allowance to buy it. Anyway, that's enough reminiscing, ha ha. So going back to my craving, since I don't know how to make it, I asked my cousin how to make it. She told me the procedure how to do it
 and I made it yesterday. I'm so glad it came out really
good and perfect. Not too hard and not too soft either, just perfect. My son and hubby can't stop eating it. So my craving was satisfied.

Anyway for those who don't know what Yema is, it is a sweet
concoction made of milk and sugar, which is from the classic recipe. But nowadays, yema has already evolved and more ingredients are added. But I still like the classic recipe, which I will be sharing now with you. It is not so complicated to make. It is very easy, and does not need a lot of ingredients. The closest taste you can compare it with are caramel candies. Though, I guess here in the US these are really called caramel candies. The slight difference will be the kind of milk being used. And these are not so dense and as hard as caramels. So for those who are yema lovers, here is a recipe for you. Please leave a comment if you like it. Thanks!
