Snowskin Mooncakes - New Flavours

These were the new flavours snowskin mooncakes which I made last Sunday, the day of Mid-Autumn Festival. My galfriend, Alice, got me a pack of Chocolate Mini Balls and another pack of Dark Brandy Chocolate. I used them for my snowskin mooncakes shown here.

Chocolate Mini Balls added into Peppermint Lotus Paste.





Dark Brandy Chocolate added into Pure White Lotus Paste with Macademia Nuts.






My galfriend, Doris, came over on Sunday afternoon. I let her try the snowskin mooncakes, a mixture of the 4 flavours shown here :)

Tried out 2 of the Jelly Mooncake recipes from a magazine. The Coffee Jelly Mooncake and the Mango Jelly Mooncake.

Original flavour is Coffee but I had it changed to Milo flavour to the liking of my children.

As for the Mango Jelly Mooncake, I twist a little from the original recipe.

Walnut Mooncakes

Hugbear's Walnut Mooncakes is one of my to-do-list in mooncake making in celebration for the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. Everyone just love the pastry crust and fillings.

As I could not get enough Walnuts this year, I twist the flavour a little by adding Brazil Nuts and Macademia Nuts respectively for my sec and last batch. So for this year, I will have 3 different nuts added into my paste.





The FIRST BATCH - Original flavour, Walnut Mooncakes




The SECOND BATCH - with added chopped Brazil Nuts in the paste..........





The LAST BATCH - with addded chopped Macademia Nuts in the paste......

My Traditional Baked Mooncakes

As usual, every year I make mooncakes to give away to my parents, my sis, my hubby's siblings and some of my close relatives. These year I made lesser, just made enough to give away. I am almost done with my mooncake making, left with one or two batches of snowskin mooncakes which I am planning to do it tonite.

Thanks D for helping me to buy the pretty plastic mooncake moulds which I used it to mould the mini mooncakes shown here.
