Yema is a sweetened milk. It is usually wrapped in colorful plastic wrappers, which makes an excellent presentation. This dish is famous in the Philippines and is a real hit with children. Yema and pastillas are almost similar in taste. They are, however, different in shape and texture. If yema becomes chewy, milky, and firm in texture, the result will be pastillas. It is an easy recipe and makes an excellent dessert or snack. But some effort is required for the preparation. When making yema, it must be consistently stirred to reach the required thickness and crunchiness.
