Matcha Snowskin Mooncake ~ 抹茶冰皮月饼

  

These non-baked snowy mooncakes encased  with a reduced sugar white lotus paste, have a slight matcha flavour.  There isn't much after bitter taste effect of the matcha as the pastel snowskin is a mix of plain and matcha flavoured dough.  As they are non-baked, they have to be chilled in the refrigerator in an air-tight container and will stay fresh even after the fifth day..... an enjoyable mooncake all round.

  1. Hi, thank you for sharing your snowskin moonie recipes. May I ask you said the moonies will stay fresh in an air-tight container even up to 5 days. Does it mean also, the skin will stay soft for 5 days or even beyond? Thank you.
