Chinese Dessert Recipes
Quick and easy Snow Skin Mooncake or Ping Pei featured in our Chinese dessert recipes is the Chinese traditional food enjoyed with family and friends during Mid-Autumn Festival or also known as Mooncake or Lantern Festival which falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese calendar (usually September). Such traditional sweet Chinese desserts are usually best enjoyed chilled with freshly brewed Chinese tea and are made into other colour varieties such as jade green and pink. Ingredients 160 g Fine Sugar 290 ml Water 1 tbsp Condensed Milk 220 g Cooked Glutinous Flour (Kao Fun); sifted 3 tbsp Shortening 1/2 tsp Rose Essence 400 g Lotus/Red Bean/Durian Lotus Paste Filling 1 cup Toasted Melon Seeds Method Mix lotus or red bean filling generously with melon seeds.

Gradually add in glutinous flour followed by shortening. Mix until the dough becomes soft and smooth. Cover and leave aside for 15 minutes. Divide dough into even portions. Wrap dough around filling. Press firmly into mould dusted with flour. Knock mould hard against hard surface. Chill mooncakes before serving. If you desire, you can colour the dough with the colour of your choice.
