Equipment

Ingredients

Crust

  • 6 oz Pinipig
  • 4 Sleeves Skyfakes Crackers
  • ½ Cup Sugar
  • ½ Cup Melted Butter

Filling

  • 1 Can condensed milk
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 1 Whole Egg
  • ½ Cup Dalandan Juice

Instructions

  • Pre-Heat oven to 350F.
    Spray a long rectangular tart pan 13 ¾ x 4 ⅜ (with removable bottom) with a butter or coconut oil.

Make the Crust

  • First you will need to toast the pinipig. To do that place a fry pan on a stove and turn the heat to medium/low. Pour in the whole bag of pinipig and stir until it smells toasted and the puffed rice gets crispy. About 5-7 minutes. 
  • Next we are going to blitz the pinipig in a food processor. You can pour it in the processor while still hot and blitz until it looks like sand. Now break in the 4 packets of skyflakes and blitz again. Add in the sugar and melted butter and blitz one more time.
  • Transfer the pinipig and skyflakes crust into the tart pan and press along the bottom and sides of the pan making sure it is tight with no gaps.
  • Bake for 10 minutes in the oven to set.

Make the Filling

  • While the crust is baking make the filling. Place the condensed milk in a bowl and add in the egg yolks, whole egg and dalandan juice. Mix well until it’s all nice and smooth.

Bake The Tart

  • Once the tart has done baking you can put in the filling. There is no need to wait for the crust to cool down. Bake the Yema Tart for 15-20 minutes until there is no jiggle. Take out of the oven and cool to room temperature. Once cool place in the fridge to set for minimum 2 hours up to overnight.
  • To serve, cut into 16 pieces.
