Purple Sweet Potato Snowskin Mooncakes 紫薯冰皮月饼
How time flies! Mooncake Festival is fast approaching and it’ll fall on 27 Sept this year. Many hotels and stalls have already started to sell mooncakes and with new creations as well. Since I like sweet potatoes very much, why not add it into my mooncake’s recipe too. I used purple sweet potato and it really gives a nice natural colour. The texture is very soft and not too dry because of less icing sugar but butter and milk are added. Another plus point is that sweet potatoes are healthy and you can indulge in it without any sense of guilt. Will definitely make more for the coming festival!

Can I use 140g of kao fen instead of snowskin flour? It’s not easy to find snowskin flour in Australia.
Hi Cindy, No, you cannot just use kao fen in this recipe. Please use the recipe in the cranberry snowskin post.

Hi Ann,
Can I use this filling for baked mooncake?
Hi Febryani, No, this is not suitable for baked mooncake because there is no flour and oil in it. The sweet potato filling will turn bad if leave in room temperature.
Hi Ann shi fu, i love your post mooncake & all recipe. May I check with you where can find KCT pine premix snow powder in Singapore? Can I find in NTUC fairprice supermaket? Or can I use Phoon Huat red man brand premix snow powder? Looking forward for your reply. Thank you very much.
Hi, is it 500g cooked or non cooked sweet potato? 🙂
Hi Cheryl, Measure 500g sweet potato and steam till soft.
Thanks Ann 🙂
i don’t know if you know this, but the links to the snow skin powder lead to a pornography site. Just to let you know
Hi Rose, Thank you very much for letting me know. Have removed the link and will update KCT’s link later after when I’m back to SG.
Hope you have a blessed Chinese Lunar New Year!
Hi Ann, I would like to try this out this year. My mould is 55gm and I am working on a ratio of 16gm dough and 39gm filling. So how should I adjust the amount of ingredients in this recipe? By the way, do you have a recipe where the skin is made of purely purple sweet potatoes? Thanks for your help!
Hi Ai Li, You can wrap the first piece with your required size and adjust the thickness later.
For making purely sweet potatoes, just steam them to soft and wrap the filling.
Thanks, Ann! Your filling is 25gm and your dough is 21gm. So are you using a 46gm or 50gm weight mould? Thanks!
The mould itself is 50g. You can make the mooncake bigger if you want.
Hi, Ann
Can I use this Purple Sweet Potato Filling recipe for Shanghai Mooncake?
Thanks
Hi Lilyn, Yes you can if prefer.
Hi, can I make the sweet potato filling one day in advance? Cling-wrap n keep in the fridge?
Thanks
Hi Lilyn, yes for this recipe.
Hi Ann, for the dough can I just use snowskin premix from redman and follow the instructions on redman snowskin premix? Thks
Hi Fion, Sure you can use Redman snowskin premix and follow their instructions accordingly and use the purple sweet potato as filling.
Thanks Ann! ☺ I would also like to replace purple sweet potato to pumpkin as filling too. 😂
Pumpkin filling is too wet unless tapioca flour is added.
Hmmm ic…. Any idea how much tapioca flour to add? Thanks Ann! ☺
Sorry Fion, I don’t have the pumpkin filling recipe now. May try one day.
Oops… Sorry Ann! One more question…. Can I use canola oil instead of butter or corn oil for the filling? Thank you!
Sure Fion, any vegetable oil you prefer.
No problem Ann! Can’t wait to see your new recipes. ☺
Hi Ann, I would to ask is it possible to change the shortening to canola oil since in the recipe you are using melted shortening.. Will there be any difference?? Joann
Hi Joann, I'm not sure about using canola oil. Why not you have a try on a smaller portion and see how it works.
Hi Ann,Love the beautiful contrast colours of purple & white. Thanks for sharing this healthier mooncake recipe.
Hi Ann, May I know how long can we keep the mooncake?
Hi Zoey, about 3-5 days.
Beautiful mooncake…@@ May I ask for the filling it says 4 tbsp. milk, its refer to milk powder? or cream milK? condensed milk can do? Thanks !!
Sorry, is fresh milk. Just updated.
Hi Ann,Can the molds also be used for traditional baked mooncakes?
Yes, I've used these molds to make the baked mooncakes.
