Cendol Jelly Mooncake 煎蕊燕菜月饼


I have been seeing this Cendol flavour of jelly mooncake around the internet. Since i just bought a mould that to make the jelly egg yolk, so my first homemade jelly mooncake chosen Cendol as the flavour.



How to make the egg yolk jelly..



Since i used natural extract food colouring, the orange colour was not evidence. I saw some using carrot or pumpkin as the natural colouring, you can try this method .

Making the cendol filling with egg yolk. I find the tart mould of 2.5" is the best size for the filling.


I even travel to Klang to get fresh cendol from a famous cendol shop in Klang. I just bought RM 1, but still can't finish it. I found their cendol colour was not that green, i guess they did not add green food colouring, only use pure pandan juices.


The jelly texture just nice, neither too hard nor too soft. I love the palm sugar outer layer but my kids don't really like this cendol flvaour. Next time have to try other flavours instead.
