Mooncakes

I bought this book 专业面包甜品制作 from a bookshop at 百胜楼 quite sometime back. Therein a snowskin mooncake recipe which I thought was quite unique. Strawberry/Blueberry Cheese snowskin mooncake. Lots of preparation work but am curious how the taste will be like with cream cheese added.

Am a lazy person so thinking that I can just do some short cut to everything. I replaced the fruits to mango since I have 5 sitting in my fridge. I prepared the jelly according to the recipe but it did not turn out as it is. It did not curd like jelly as a result I can't even wrap it. As for the outer filling, the recipe used green bean paste + cream cheese which I think is a hassel to prepare the former. Hence I used store bought lotus paste. I used my KA to cream the 2. Not sure if I have over done with the creaming it become oily and soft like tofu.

Nontheless I go ahead with the wrapping. Along the way I added this (oreo) and that (Raisins soaked in rum)...as a result the taste become complicated =P But Alden has show support to me. He say its nice haha...=) Thanks to my dear son.

I will show the original recipe here. My dear blogger friend, if you try out the recipe pls let me know how it taste like.
