Green Tea Snow Skin Mooncake 绿茶冰皮月饼

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.
