Make your own Yema Balls! Here's How!

What is Yema? Yema is a type of candy that is made from condensed milk and egg yolks. It is a very common Filipino dessert and it can be seen mostly everywhere in the Philippines. 

Yema is very easy to do. You do not need to have a lot of cooking and preparation. This dessert is presented with colorful cellophane, most of these are wrapped in green, yellow, red, and orange.

It is mostly formed in small or big triangles, for it is individually placed into triangular cut cellophane, which makes it form that shape. Here's how the triangular shaped yema looks like:
