Taro Mochi Swirl Mooncakes (芋頭麻糬酥)

Mooncakes are a traditional Chinese pastry enjoyed during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year, I decided to challenge myself by baking Taro Mochi Swirl Mooncakes (芋頭麻糬酥) instead of the snow skin mooncakes I usually make. Unlike the traditional mooncakes, these have a thousand layers with a flaky shell. It may sound complicated, but I found the process quite fun and enjoyable.

Tiramisu Snow Skin Mooncakes

I am going to make Tiramisu Snow Skin Mooncakes for this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival. A coffee jelly (almost like a gummy texture) is wrapped with mascarpone cheese filling. You can expect the perfect balance of espresso and chocolate, ending with a subtle rum flavour. No cooking is needed, and the espresso snow skin can maintain chewy, soft, and mochi-like after 3-4 days in the freezer.
