During the Mid-Autumn Festival, would you like to try making your own special mooncakes? Here is a guide to making durian snowskin mooncakes, adding a unique flavor to your holiday.
Prepare these ingredients: 500g durian flesh, 200g glutinous rice flour, 50g cornstarch, 100g sugar, and a suitable amount of vegetable oil. Before starting, remove the durian seeds and blend the flesh into a fine puree. Then, mix the glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, and sugar evenly, slowly add the durian puree while stirring, until the dough is smooth and uniform.
The process of making mooncakes is simple and fun. Take a suitable amount of dough, roll it into a round shape, gently press it flat in the palm, use a rolling pin to expand it to a diameter of about 8-10 cm, lightly brush the surface with a layer of vegetable oil to add shine and prevent sticking. Next, place a ball of durian filling in the center of the dough, carefully gather the four edges of the dough towards the center, gently pinch and seal the opening, ensuring that the filling is completely wrapped.
For the final step, use a mooncake mold to shape your creation. Place the dough with the filling into the mold, gently press, then invert the mold, tap gently, and the mooncake will elegantly come out of the mold. For a better texture, you can put the mooncakes in a sealed bag and place them in the freezer to set for 2 to 3 hours.
This durian snowskin mooncake not only has a cool and delicate texture, but also carries the unique sweet fragrance of durian, making it a highlight on your Mid-Autumn Festival feast. Give it a try and make this Mid-Autumn celebration even more memorable with your creative and delicious treat.
