Snowskin Mooncake with Red Bean and Matcha Mochi 冰皮月饼红豆绿茶蔴糬

My kids have been asking me to make their favourite snowskin mooncake. This time i made with Japanese inspired moooncake, matcha mochi wrapped with red bean paste , plain snowskin and topped with beautiful pickled sakura ^_^




Anything decorated with sakura, sure look lovely! At the same time, slight salty taste of pickled sakura just give nice contrast to sweet snowskin and the filling.

How to make them..









Homemade red bean paste and matcha mochi, so i can control the sweetness..

Also a lovely gift to be given away..

Hi!! Thank you so much for this amazing recipe!! I just made these at 2am and am really happy that it's a success! Looks beautiful too!! However, as I am giving it away as a gift only 2 days later, may I know how long can the mochi mooncakes be stored for and must it be stored in the fridge? Hope to hear from you soon! Cheers! (Oh ya.& I went to buy sakura tea from Iseatan but sadly.. the teas do not have the real sakura flower inside. It's all blended alr :'( )

Cheers!
Love, Cherrie

Cherrie, you have to store them in the fridge , but they will turn slightly hard after keep in the fridge for 2-3days.
