Yes, the moon cakes are so popular that there are suggestions to make different flavors and fillings. This time I tried out different colors of the skin to match the filling inside. Also, I tried to be innovative by putting chocolate ganache in the center of the filling--"a filling inside a filling"--just like the traditional moon cake with a yolk inside the lotus seed paste filling.
For the skin recipe, click here. I added about 2 tsp green tea powder for the green skin and 2 tsp cocoa powder to make the brown skin. For the purple yam, steam it until it is soft, which takes about 20 minutes. Peel the skin and smash it with a fork. Just follow the recipe for the taro filling in previous post.

更多冰皮月餅
自從上星期做了一次冰皮後,今次嘗試不同餡料及做不同顏色的皮。我更放入巧克力做內餡,好似傳统月餅的咸蛋黄一樣,效果不錯啊 !
綠色的皮我放了二茶匙的綠茶粉,巧克力的皮是用唂古粉,紫色的是紫薯啊。

This recipe is very good. This season I have made close to 200 pieces already. Now I manage to use less skin than the filling.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find those molds? They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I got mine online. They are mostly made in China and there are a few bakery stores in Hong Kong that take oversea orders. This is one of them: http://www.orangebakingstore.com/
