Ingredients

Orange custard filling

50 g Nuttelex plant based butter

2 melted eggs lightly beaten

2 1/2 tsp wheat starch

40 g powdered milk

45 g castor sugar

50 ml fresh orange juice

Chocolate Snowskin

50 g cold Nuttelex plant based butter

100 g kou fen / cooked glutinous rice flour (sifted)

10 g cocoa powder (sifted)

50 g icing sugar (sifted)

100 ml any carbonated drinks(coke/ ice cream soda/ sprite/7-up etc..)

Gold dust for dusting on top of mooncake (optional)

Directions

1To make orange custard filling: Place all custard ingredients in a saucepan and place over medium heat. Stirring constantly until thickens to a paste. Cover paste with cling wrap and set aside in fridge to cool for at least 3-4 hrs.

2To make chocolate snowskin: Combine kou fen, cocoa powder and icing sugar into a large mixing bowl. Add in cold Nuttelex and rub in with your finger tips till mixture resembles breadcrumbs/ fine sand. Add in carbonated drink and quickly mix to form a soft dough. Knead the dough in the mixing bowl until smooth. Cover dough with a cling wrap/film to let it rest for 15- 30mins in fridge.

3To assemble mooncake, using 100g mooncake mould: Portion out custard filling into 45g pieces and roll into a ball. Portion out chocolate dough into 55g pieces and roll into ball.

4Flatten the dough and roll out into about 4-5 inches round. Place the filling in the middle and wrap around it.

5Dust the dough with cooked glutinous flour you prepared earlier. Dust off excess flour. Place this into the mold and press to imprint the pattern on the dough. Repeat with the rest of the dough and filling. Transfer to an air-tight container and keep chill in fridge for up to 5 days.
