Heart-Loving Sweet Potato Snow Skin Mooncake

Serves: 16 mooncakes

Ingredients (for filling)

• Sweet Potatoes (Steamed for 45 mins, mashed and cooled), 120g
• Low-fat Milk Powder, 60g
• Wheat Starch, 35g
• Low-fat Milk, 120g
• Eggs, 3
• Reduced-fat Margarine (Melted), 50g

Method

1. Combine the mashed sweet potatoes, milk powder, wheat starch and low-fat milk. Whisk until smooth in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add eggs and melted margarine. Mix thoroughly.
3. Cook the mixture over low heat in a non-stick pan, stirring constantly until it thickens to a mashed potato-like consistency (approx. 9 mins).
4. Transfer the filling to a bowl and cover with cling film while touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming and chill in the fridge.

Ingredients (for snow skin)

• Glutinous Rice Flour, 35g
• Brown Rice Flour, 15g
• Wheat Starch, 25g
• Sugar, 10g
• Stevia, 15g
• Low-fat Milk, 185g
• Low-fat, Unsweetened Condensed Milk, 25g
• Olive Oil, 25g
• Glutinous Rice Flour (for dusting, plus extra for dusting mould and dough), 15g

Method

1. In another mixing bowl, whisk all dry ingredients with milk and condensed milk until smooth and lump-free.
2. Pour the mixture into a heatproof dish and steam over medium-low heat for 25 minutes until fully cooked.
3. Meanwhile, prepare your snow flour for dusting: Dry-fry 15g of glutinous rice flour over low heat for about 5 minutes until dry and slightly aromatic. Set aside to cool completely.
4. Once the steamed dough is cooked, drizzle it with olive oil and allow it to cool slightly.
5. Knead until smooth and elastic.
6. Divide dough into 16 portions (about 20g each).
7. Divide sweet potato filling into 16 balls (about 25g each).
8. Flatten one portion of the dough into a circle in your palm. Place a filling ball in the centre and wrap the dough around it, sealing the edges tightly.
9. Lightly dust both the wrapped mooncake and mould with cooked glutinous rice flour.
10. Press into mooncake mould to shape, then gently release.
11. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
12. Chill the mooncakes for at least 2 hours before serving.
