Instructions
Make The Dough
- Prepare the taro by peeling, washing, and slicing it into cubes.
- Peel and chop the purple potato.
- Steam the chopped taro and purple potato until soft enough to mash.
- After steaming, blend the steamed taro and purple potato in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth like paste.
- In a non-stick pan, toast the glutinous rice flour over low heat until its white color turns slightly cream-colored.
- In a bowl, mix and knead the steamed taro and purple potato, cooked glutinous rice flour, sugar, and milk powder. The quantity of cooked glutinous rice flour is not fixed; add it gradually in small amounts until the mixture forms a cohesive dough.
- Divide the mooncake dough into 40g portions.
Prepare The Filling
- For the filling, combine the cheese and honey red beans. Mix the two until the honey red beans are evenly distributed. Aside from honey red beans, you can also incorporate other favorite ingredients, such as nuts and raisins.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag to make forming 10g balls of filling easier. Alternatively, using a spoon will do the job if you don't have a piping bag.
- Place the fillings on a tray and freeze them.
Assemble The Mooncake
- Take one portion of the taro dough and flatten it into a circular wrapper.
- Place a ball of cheese and honey red beans in the center.
- Seal the wrapper by pinching the edges and shaping it into a round ball.
- Grease the mooncake molds and press the assembled mooncake onto the mold to take its shape.
- Unmold the mooncake from the mold.
- Refrigerate the mooncakes for better flavor and texture.
