Yemas de Santa Teresa are traditional Spanish sweets originating from the region of Ávila. These confections are made primarily from egg yolks and sugar, resulting in a rich, creamy texture. They are often shaped into small, round balls and dusted with powdered sugar, making them visually appealing and delicious. Named after Saint Teresa of Ávila, a prominent figure in the Catholic Church, these treats are typically enjoyed during religious celebrations and special occasions. Their history dates back to the 16th century, reflecting the culinary traditions of the time and the influence of monastic cooking in Spain.
