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.

Hi Mimi
to prepare cook plain flour
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.
