Yemas

Here is another classic Filipino candy. They are called Yemas: vanilla custard balls dipped in dark caramel. Rich, smooth, and creamy filling is juxtaposed against the slightly bittersweet crunch of hard caramel. 


To make Yemas, we use only whole milk, cane sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla. It's amazing how simple ingredients can yield an extraordinary product. They are definitely worth a try. The Sweet Coconut Bakery version is almost ready for the world, so watch out for them!

How often do you look at a plate of brownies this closely?

Or a pan of pumpkin sesame brittle?

Hot Chocolate for Two and Welcome!

Gray skies. Scattered showers. It's a bit nippy out there. Decidedly, it is a day for hot chocolate.

We will need 2 oz of bittersweet chocolate (grated or chopped), a little bit of orange zest (just to taste) and two cups of whole milk. Heat the milk in a saucepan. Add the chocolate and zest and bring to a boil while whisking constantly (for a nice frothy top). Remove from heat. Pour into 2 cups.


And now the fun part: CHOCOLATE marshmallows!

Enjoy! Keep warm.
