Green Tea Snowskin Mooncake
This is my last mooncake post for Mooncake Festival that is tomorrow. I made Green Tea Snowskin Mooncake with another type of snowskin flour (Pinpe Premix Powder) from Kwong Cheong Thye (广祥泰) that comes with a recipe. The snowskin dough is very easy to handle. In the beginning, you’ll find that the dough is quite oily after boiling the liquid. But you’ll be surprised that the dough is not oily at all after it has cooled down and the texture is very smooth like Japanese mochi. I’ve added some green tea powder in the boiling water to get its natural colour and you can get the taste of mild green tea fragrant flavour with the combination of the green tea lotus paste ….. simply delicious. I will definitely want to use this snowskin flour for the next Mid-Autumn Festival for sure.
I am submitting this post to Aspiring Bakers #11: Mid-Autumn Treats (September 2011) hosted by
Here is the recipe
45g Ordinary Kao Fen
225g Snowskin flour (KCT Pinpe Premix Powder)
60g Icing sugar
45g Shortening
350g Water
1/2 tsp Green tea powder
Boil 350g water and green tea powder together and cover with lid, simmer at lower heat for 5 minutes, leave to cool. Stir well and measure green tea water to 300g.
- Combine kao fen and snowskin flour (KWT Pinpe Premix Powder) in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a pot, mix 300g green tea water with icing sugar and shortening together and bring them to boil until shortening melted, stir with a hand whisk.
- Pour the hot liquid mixture to the flour and use spatula to stir mixture to soft dough and leave dough to cool (you’ll find the dough is quite oily at this time) then knead dough again to smooth.
- Measure dough to 22g and wrap in 25g green tea lotus paste.
- Roll it into a ball and dust with some cooked glutinous rice flour (Gao fen 糕粉).
- Press firmly into mould ~~unmould it and store in airtight container.
- Chill green tea snowskin mooncake before consume.
Kitchen note: Updated 2012- please refer to my snowskin recipe here for the new adjustment on the snowskin premix flour.

Hihi,This is my attempt using your recipe… They r yummy, stay soft very long,,, Thanks.
Thank you for trying. Have a lovely weekend 🙂
How do you make green tea lotus paste? :O
This green tea lotus was store bought.
Hi Ann, I wonder why my snowskin mooncakes cracks after refrigeration. Is it the skin is too thin or insufficient fluids?
Hi Joanne, Are you following my recipe using KCT premix? What is your measurement for the dough skin and filling?
Hi Anncoo. where you bought the kao fen from ? also KCT ? thanks
Hi Jessica, the premix is from KCT and kao fen can buy from any bakery ingredient shops.If you want to use KCT premix snowskin flour, please follow on my 2012 post. There was some slight adjustment on the recipe.https://www.anncoojournal.com/2012/09/oinkoinkim-back.html
Hi Anncoo,Thanks for your quick reply. I will take a look on that recipe.
Very cute pictures
Thank you 🙂
Hi Ann,Would you mind to share the website where you get this beautiful rose moon cake mould? Thanks in advance! Really nice moon cake you have. Will definitely try out your recipe shared here!
Thanks Ann, will try kitchen capers!
Hi Honey boy, I think Kitchen Capers got this mould.
thanks for sharing.I 'd love to try out. However, in the ingredients – 45g Ordinary Kao Fen225g Snowskin flour (KWT Pinpe Premix Powder. I don't even know what is call in the US?
I'm really sorry about it. I don't think you can get the kao fen or snowskin flour in US. I think they only available in Asia.
All your mooncakes are breathtakinlgy beautiful. When I read through the recipes, it does not seem so difficult to make, but i am not sure I am ready to try yet:) The molds are very pretty too! and i love this one. the snow skin covers look much tender than the store bought ones that we were given.
Ann, gorgeous snowskins and I really like the mold design. Haven't seen this one yet!
好美的绿茶月饼哦!
这是最后了吗?我却觉得自己还有几种口味还没做呢!真希望中秋来得慢一点:P 祝你和家人中秋节快乐!

Lyn, I think as long as it is kao fen, the water is about the same but is the quality that matters.
