It’s the first time to make snowy moon cakes. I have never eaten this kind of moon cakes before every Mid-Autumn Festival. It sounds like a mysterious name. In fact, it is not difficult to make. , But it also requires a lot of practice. Let’s spread the knowledge of snowy mooncakes first: Snowy mooncakes are traditional Vietnamese Mid-Autumn Festival food. They were introduced to Hong Kong by Vietnamese refugees in the 1980s. After learning how to make them, Hong Kong’s Taipan bread and cakes were promoted, and the mooncake market with a 700-year history started. Significant changes have quickly swept Chinese across the world, so Hong Kong Taipan snowy mooncakes are synonymous with snowy mooncakes.
Snowy mooncakes can already be found in some supermarkets, but due to the storage temperature, they are not often available. Different from the outer skin of traditional Cantonese-style mooncakes, this kind of glutinous rice skin that does not need to be baked is soft and firm, and the filling is mostly fruit-based, a bit like glutinous rice cakes. If you are tired of traditional mooncakes, you may wish to change the taste to make this year's Mid-Autumn Festival more fun. The simple and festive snowy mooncakes don’t need an oven at all. They are wrapped with red bean paste or pineapple filling. They are very sweet and delicious. It makes sense to make some for relatives and friends during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, the flour on the outside is still slightly wrapped this time, because it is easy to stick when demolding, but this will make the mooncakes not bright enough and affect the appearance. Another cartoon pattern is not very deep, maybe I am not trying hard enough. Two-color ones will look better. You can mix cocoa powder or matcha powder directly into the dough.
