Yemas de Santa Teresa

These small orange balls in white confectionery paper are made with egg yolks, sugar, and lemon zest. The rich and creamy dessert is a specialty of Ávila, where it’s traditionally prepared on October 15th, the feast day of St. Theresa, but yemas can also be bought any other day of the year as an edible souvenir.
