冰皮月饼 Bing Pi Yue Bing

Recently, my mom and I made ice-version moon cakes (冰皮月饼). The original recipe is taken from one of the Mommy Cooking Facebook group members named Regina Lee. I've altered the recipe because I personally do not like desserts to be too sweet.

The images are taken at a kinda dark kitchen - 

I didn't switch on the lights. 

So, it's kinda dull coloured but the colours are actually pastel colours if you see with naked eyes.

INGREDIENTS

糕粉 Gao Fen 130 gm

澄面粉Wheat Starch Flour 35 gm

低筋面粉 Low Gluten Flour 35 gm

糖分Icing Sugar 100 gm

白油 Shortening 50 gm

冰水 Cold Water 130 ml

STEPS

1. Mix Wheat Starch Flour and Low Gluten Flour together using whisk/fork. Steam the mixture of flour with medium fire for 5 minutes. Sieve the flour mixture after it has cooled down.
2. Mix all the ingredients into dough.
3. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
4. Weigh the dough and filing. For standard 165 gm mold, the dough used will be 75 gm and filing will be 100 gm.
5. Shape your moon cake. Remember to sprinkle some Gao Fen in the mold before you shape it – to avoid the moon cake from sticking in the mold. 
6. Refrigerate the moon cake and ready to be served in 3 hours time. 

FILING

I bought from the shop – Black sesame flavor – 1 packet (1 kg) (RM 21) can make 14 moon cakes. 

COLOURS USED

Red - from colouring. Just a few drops will do.

Blue - from the blue flower. Dip the flower into hot water.

Chocolate - from cocoa powder. 

DIFFICULTY LEVEL 

Practice makes perfect. This is fairly easy to make compared to the baking-required moon cake. Remember to dust enough Gao Fen in the mold before you shape it. Or else, you will have a hard time looking at funny looking squeezed-out moon cakes. I actually roll the dough with filing inside on Gao Fen before placing it into the mold to be shaped. 

WHERE TO GET THE INGREDIENTS
