Cranberry Snowskin Mooncakes 蔓越梅冰皮月饼
Today I’m sharing with you this snowskin recipe using gao fen (糕粉). This is also for the convenience for those of you who could not buy the premix snowskin powder that I used in my previous recipes. The dough is quite sticky, so better to put on a pair of plastic gloves when kneading and moulding. Do not add too much extra gao fen as this will cause the dough skin to become dry and hard. Change another new pair of plastic gloves for moulding. Store them in the fridge and these snowskin mooncakes will still remain soft for about 3 days.

- 蔓越梅冰皮月饼
- 材料：
- 75克 糕粉 （炒熟的糯米粉）
- 100个 糖粉，过筛
- 10克 白油
- 85克 香兰叶水 (煮香兰叶和200克水，待凉)
- 适量粉红色素
- 275克 蔓越梅莲蓉馅，分成11份，每份25克。
- 做法：
- 将糕粉和糖粉一起过筛在一个大碗里。加入白油，用手搓匀。
- 先倒入一半的香兰叶水，慢慢的揉拌粉类，再慢慢的倒入香兰叶水至揉拌成面团。洒入少许糕粉，揉到软面团不粘手即可。加入少许粉红色素再把面团搓均匀即可。
- 让面团休息20分钟。换上一双干净的朔胶手套将软面团分割成11份，每份约25克，包入蔓越梅莲蓉馅或您喜欢的馅料。
- 搓圆。沾上一点糕粉，放入模具压花。将月饼收进封密盒子。
- 冷藏数小时即可享用。
- **这冰皮食谱是献给有些读者买不到我平时用的KCT premix snowskin powder。用的就是普通糕粉(炒熟的糯米粉)。面团蛮粘的，所以一定要戴上朔胶手套，比较好操作。再揉面团时不要洒入太多糕粉，避免冰皮变得太干和硬。
- 冰皮做得好的话还是蛮软的，可耐3天都没问题。

Hi Ann, notice this recipe doesn’t need the premix flour, what’s the difference between the two. Am looking for a chewy and soft skin texture. Can advise pls.
Hi Rowena, Actually I still prefer to use the premix flour than this recipe. This mooncake will also stays soft, not chewy type but will be hardened after a few days.
Hi Ann may i know how u prepare the cranberry for snowskin mooncake?
Thanks
Angela
Hi Angela, the cranberry lotus paste was store bought from Kwong Cheong Thye..
Hi Ann, your Mooncake really looks good. May I know where you got your Mooncake mould ?
Hi Elaine, I think you can still get the mooncake mould from Kitchen Capers.
我想问一下你的馅料都是买的还是自己做的啊 有馅料的配方吗 谢谢
馅料是买现成的。做不到所以没配方。
Hi Ann, may i asked why is pingpi premix added in some snowskin mooncakes recipes n some do not call for this flour? Is the texture turns out to be different?
Hi, Not all the pingpi recipes are the same. Using pinpi premix, the dough skin texture can last longer and softer.
Hi Ann can we fried our own glutinous rice for the mooncake?
Hi Deborah, Yes you can. You must fry the glutinous rice flour to very light.
What a sweet, dainty and pretty in pink mooncakes you've made, love it!

可以加澄面粉吗?
用澄面粉出来的效果就不是月饼了。

beautiful snow skin mooncake..
it looks so pretty!!
Simple ingredients yield a sweet and nice mooncakes with refreshingly cranberry flavours. Thumbs Up !
Hello Ann, your snowskin cranberry lotus paste look so pretty pink, wish I can source this filling here in KL, anyway I fine this mould very nice and cute, may I ask where I can buy it? I will try out this recipe since I couldn.t buy the premix as your previous recipe stated, hopefully I can get good result this time!Just by looking at the picture of this cranberry snowskin mooncake already want to take a bite of it….ha! ha!
Ann, 请教一下,这个食谱的糖粉好像蛮多不会很甜吗? 和你2012的冰皮月饼的食谱糖粉量差别很大。 是因为分别用糕粉和冰皮月饼粉的关系吗?
Hi Wei,
我觉得还OK. 你怕甜点的话可以把糖粉再减一点。
假如你要做这个食谱的话,记得水要慢慢的加,因为面糊会很粘。
Your mooncakes are absolutely incredible! I've never had one with cranberries. what a gorgeous color!
Can we use Cranberry juice instead of pandan water?Thanks Christina Poh
Hi Christina, Yes, of course you can use cranberry juice if you like 🙂
