Baked Chocolate Mooncake Skin

By Foong, on September 29th, 2009%

I know, I know…another chocolate dessert recipe but it is the mooncake festival anyway. And I don’t know why but I wanted to try my hands at baking my own mooncakes again. Last year’s chocolate mooncakes were a disaster when I brushed on too much egg glaze and the mooncakes looked horrible although it tasted absolutely heavenly.

So, this year, I baked the regular plain mooncakes and a batch of chocolate mooncakes too. You can find the recipes in my recipes page. Again, this year, I bought the ready-made fillings of lotus paste, chocolate paste and red bean paste. . . . → Read More: Baked Chocolate Mooncake Skin

Ping Pei (non-bake) Mooncake

By Foong, on September 6th, 2008%

Compared to the baked mooncakes, making the ping pei mooncakes are much easier and simpler, though it still takes up quite a bit of time mixing the dough, kneading it, wrapping the filling and moulding it. I always preferred the non-bake mooncakes compared to the baked ones, probably because can eat it cold!
