Prep 20 min Cook 1 hr Serves 12 Source

Ingredients

  • 10 egg yolks
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar

Steps

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine egg yolks and condensed milk. Stir together until well-blended.

  2. 2

    In a non-stick pan over low heat, transfer egg and milk mixture. Cook, stirring regularly, until thick enough to form shape. Continuously scrape bottom and sides of pan to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Remove from heat and allow to cool. Shape into 1-inch balls.

  4. 4

    In a pan, combine sugar, water, and vinegar. Stir until sugar is dissolved.

  5. 5

    Bring to a boil. Cook until the liquid turns amber color, swirling the pan occasionally for even cooking.

  6. 6

    Drop the custard balls one by one into the caramel and turn gently to coat. With a fork, immediately remove coated yema and place in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Allow to cool and wrap individually in cellophane.
