Ingredients
For The Filling
- 1 teaspoon agar agar powder
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3/4 cup mango puree about 2 mangoes
For The Outer Layer
- 3 3/4 teaspoons agar agar powder
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 cups coconut milk
Instructions
- To make the filling, combine the agar agar powder, honey and honey into a small saucepan over medium low heat and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 1 minute. Then set aside. Take care to stir often and turn down the heat if necessary. This will help prevent the sugars from burning.
- Next, make the outer layer by combining the agar agar powder, honey and coconut milk in a saucepan, then stir to combine. Bring the coconut milk mixture to a boil over low heat and then let boil for at least a minute.
- Immediately fill about 1/3 of the moon cake molds with the coconut milk.
- Let the moon cake molds sit for about 5 minutes so that the coconut milk will cool and firm slightly. They should be firm enough that the mango doesn’t fall through the coconut milk. The coconut milk should be firm enough to create a barrier. The remaining coconut milk should be tacky and still warm. Don’t let it sit any longer, as the mixture will get firm fast and become impossible to pour. When the coconut mixture has cooled and firmed slightly, next you can add the mango filling. The coconut milk should be firm enough to create a barrier.
- Stir the remaining coconut mixture to make sure that it’s still smooth and warm. You don’t want any lumps, or it won’t pour smoothly. Next spoon the coconut mixture over the mango filling in the moon cake molds. Make sure the coconut mixture fills in any open spaces. Let the moon cake mold sit at room temperature until they are no longer hot and then transfer them to the fridge to chill. They can be served at room temperature but prefer them chilled.
Notes
- Make sure to set aside a time where you won’t be interrupted. If you start pouring the coconut milk and then step away for what feel like only a few minutes, you may come back to a saucepan filled with solid coconut milk instead of liquid coconut milk. There’s no coming back from something like that.
- Since the agar agar firms up quickly, this process goes fast. I’d make sure to have all your ingredients ready to go.
- You’ll need a mold to create these mooncakes not a traditional mooncake stamp. The exact mold we used is no longer available however, these are a great substitute.
- You’ll need powdered agar for this recipe. Such as this brand.
