Custard Charcoal Pingpi Mooncakes 奶皇黑炭冰皮月饼


I love the colour contrast. This have to serve chill else I find it bit soggy. Will add corn to the custard filling. Using the mould I have the ratio is Skin:Filling 25gm:25gm. The mini one have corn added to the filling and are only 20gm each so its 10gm:10gm. Just pop one in the mouth and you are done. =) Best serve chill.


Recipe adapted from Y3K cookbook 冰皮月饼
Skin


Set(A)


80g cooked glutinous flour


30g cooked corn flour (I used cooked plain flour)


40g icing sugar (I used 35g)


Set(B)


30g shortening, 30g liquid glucose (I used corn syrup)



Set(C)


1/2 t charcoal powder


125-150ml water (I used ice water)


Custard filling


Set (D) (mixed together and strained the liquid)


40g custard powder (Sieved)


10g milk powder (Sieced) (No milk powder I replace with creamer)


125g fresh milk, 50g water ( I used UHT milk)


Set (E)


40g sugar ( I used 35g)


Set(F)


20g butter, 1/4 t vanilla essence


Method


1) Skin: combine (A) & (B) together. Add (C) and knead into smooth dough


2) cover dough and rest in fridge for an hr or overnight


3) Custard filling: Combine (D) & add (E) into a pot. Cook over low heat, stirring at all time till thickened.


4) turn off heat add (F). Mix well. Set aside to cool


5) Start to mould.


Note from book: This recipe is for mould that can hold 50gms. Always work on the ration of 60% skin weight and 40% filling weight. Do not overwork on the skin else it will toughen. ( My ratio is slightly different 50%)

Hi fatmum,

these black snowskin mooncakes are very unique. I bet even most hotels have'nt thought of making the skin black.

I will be making mooncakes this week for the very 1st time. Hope it turns out good.

cheers =]

my glutinous rice flour is already cooked when bought. But to cook plain flour you can
1) pan fry at low heat or
2) pour the amt on a dry baking pan then placed in preheat oven of 160c, stir occasionally till it release a fragrant smell.

I bought mine from JB thought it is widely available in MY. I have added corn to the remaining custard and it taste even nicer.
