My 11-year-old (younger) daughter had been asking that we make some yema balls again. She so enjoyed making them about a month ago that she had been going on and on and on… I wasn’t planning on saying yes today. Still feel a bit down after the flu. Besides, older daughter is still down with the flu and it just seems that there’s so much to do (laundry has piled up, for one). But younger daughter looked at me with those pleading eyes and promised she’d clean up afterwards. I relented. Since we made twice as much yema balls than the last time, I suggested we add flavoring to some. She agreed but insisted on melon and pandan flavors only. Wise, really, since with the coconut cream powder added to the original yema balls recipe, we effectively came up with buko-melon and buko-pandan yema balls this time.
I didn’t change anything from the basic recipe. I just set aside two half-cupfuls of the mixture and added bottled flavorings to them. I added a few drops of melon flavor to one part and pandan flavor to the other. Since the melon flavor was already colored, there was no need to add food coloring. The pandan flavor, however, was transparent so I had to add a few drops of green food coloring.

hi!
can we use the pictures of yemas for ang pinaka QTV 11?
we are currently having our episode about foods…
Thanks!!!
dada tampis, if you will send me the specifics and we can agree on the parameters of the use of the photo, then I might be amenable to your request.
By the way, is this how modern corporations make official requests? By leaving comments in blogs?
Hi,
Can anyone give me the recipe for macapuno balll candy? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
please can you give me the recipe of buko melon and buko padan yema balls. thanks.
cathy, click the link to page 2.
i once tasted a yema that is firm in the outside but soft in the inside abd it is delish:wink: so i tried making one myself but when i cook the condensed milk for 5 mins, then roll the balls in sugar, nawawala yung shape ng yema and hindi nagiging firm outside and soft inside,it just tasted sweet.heeellllppppp:cry:
tita connie, it’s me again. i was wondering, how come the yema balls looks a little different from your previous post using just the basic recipe. the yema seems more… for lack of a better word, firm. these look more like balls and look like they are holding their shape more. was there something different done during the cooking process? because i know the recipes used are the same except for the addition of the flavoring…
The temperature, mich. My daughter couldn’t wait to start rolling when we made the yema balls photographed in the earlier entry. The cooler the mixture, the easier to form into balls.
ohhhh okay, that makes sense… thank you! oh, i made your macaroons! i will put a comment on that too…
I made the yema balls and my whole family loved it. Although I made a lighter version and did not add the sugar in the end. I myself got sick of it because I kept tasting it upon rolling
Thank you so much for your recipe.
question though . How would you make ube yema balls if you had just the dry powder?
Thank you again
