Hi! Your mooncake look good! Does the orange snowskin gives the overall a refreshing taste? Do we need to add sugar for the skin? Your moulds look pretty too! May I know where can I buy them?
Hi Tina,
Yum Yum thumb up. This taste good compare to those sold in the market which used only food colouring. The overall is just right not too sweet, if you prefer sweeter you can add more icing sugar.
I order this mould from Esjoie blog.
Hi happy flour,
Appreciate your prompt reply!
May I know for this portion of skin and filling, did you use the
6R, 8R or the 10R mould?
Hi Sherene,
I used 6R 5.9cm diameter mooncake mould.
hi,
I also try making snow skin for first time a few days ago.my skin wasn't sticky at all. is that normal?can I use all coconut milk to replace all liquid ? thanks!

Hi Diane,
As long the snow skin is soft and not sticky then it alright. What I did is that I used coconut powder instead of milk. As food contained coconut milk can't keep long, have to consume it within one to two days.
hi,
Thanks for your fast reply.can I ask how much coconut powder ?is it to give it a hint of coconut favor only? here in the states I've never seen snow skin moon cake but I got the same moulds from ejoie.will try your orange snow skin since I can get all the ingredients. thanks again.

Hi Diane,
I only estimate on the amount of coconut powder used just enough to give the light coconut smell and taste.
Hi,
how many days can this mooncake be kept? Can I substitute 10g of kao fen with wheat starch? Thanks.
regds,
christine
Hi Christine,
It can be kept in the fridge for 4 to 5 days also no problem. Just that the skin will turn slightly dry.
You can give it a dry. As for my recipe, I already used tapioca flour for dusting so I don't think it necessary to substitute 10g of kao fen with wheat starch.
Thanks so much. I think the mould from esjoie is easy to use too. I think I will order more.
=) christine
