Yema Balls

For my daughter's Harmony Day celebration in school, they were asked to bring something from their country for morning tea. As week nights are busy, I thought of preparing an easy Filipino sweet, yema balls. It's a rich,custard tasting ball , either rolled in sugar or dipped in caramel. It is made from condensed milk and yolks. It is traditionally flavored with dayap or lime. I used lemon instead.

I hope you'll enjoy this simple piece of heaven.

Yema Balls

Ingredients:
1 can condensed milk
7 egg yolks
Lemon rind
2 T butter

Procedure:
1. Using non stick pan, mix all ingredients together with a wooden spoon.
2. Cook on low heat by continuously mixing until thick.
   (  An indication that it is done is when it starts to come together into a solid mass and doesn't stick to the sides of pan.)
3. Cool. Form into balls and roll into sugar. Makes approx.24 pcs.

4. Wrap in cellophane or put in cupcake paper.
