My son Lucas prefers snow skin mooncake, i made this green tea mooncake for him as he also like green tea flavour. Snow skin mooncake is quick and easy to make, definitely more simple than traditional mooncakes.
Do you know how to cut a mooncake to perfect size per serving ? Simply make 4 slices and divided into 8 equal portions.
Nowadays you can easily find all softs of ingredients needed to make mooncake in bakery ingredient shop, they even sell mooncake box which come together with inner plastic box, only cost me RM 0.65 per set for a big box.

Very nice! Sonia, may I know if yours need to bring to room temperature before eating? I am asking as mine was a little hard when kept in the fridge, so needs to bring to room temperature to soften it. Thank you!

Eileen@HED, yes, you need to bring down to room temp before cutting, otherwise it is hard to cut.
Sonia, you are going to be a mooncake diva soon! hehe... nice one.

Sonia , I read that u add green tea powder into the lotus paste but how about the skin ? What kind of green tea powder are u using ?
