Snowskin Mooncakes 冰皮月饼 (2012)
Hello ALL, Mid Autumn or Mooncake Festival is only three days away, that is this Sunday and here I want to wish all of you who celebrate a Very Happy Mid Autumn Festival！中秋快乐！
There is nothing to shout about for today’s post. It is actually a repeat recipe that I’d used last year (here) but with a little changes in the measurements. This is also the same recipe as my Snowskin Piggies. I just wanted to finish up all the remaining snowskin ingredients and mooncake pastes that I have. Just for the record reference, I’ll type out my recipe below.

the colours u use colouring?
Hi Ann, every year I followed your trusty Snowskin Mooncakes 冰皮月饼 (2012) recipe to make my durian snowskin moonies. This year, however, KCT stops carrying the Taiwan Pinpe powder (green packing shown here). I had no choice but to buy its inhouse KCT premixed snowskin powder this year to make snowskin moonies. I was told by KCT that their inhouse premixed powder consists of Taiwan Pinpe powder plus the usual local Kuo Fen (fried glutinous flour) powder in the packet. I am a little nervous to try this new premixed next week. Hope I will be successful in this new attempt otherwise, all my durian fillings will go to waste.
Hi Priscilla, I’ve not been to KCT in the past 3 years cos I’ve moved to the northern side of SG and is quite far away from my home. I only went to PH and Sunlik. You can try a small portion of their premix to test.
Hi Ann, just now at Kwong Cheong Thye trying to get the Taiwan pinpe snowskin powder but stock will only arrives after mooncake festive which does not make sense at all. I think KCT not bringing in now because the shop is trying to promote its own inhouse premix mooncake powder. Ann, do you know where I can buy similar Taiwan pinpe powder (in green packaging showed in your recipe here)?
Thank you.
Hi Priscilla, I think most probably due the (Covid-19) pandemic situation now, there might be late shipments from Taiwan. You can check with Sunlik. They have another brand that I’d tried last year. Is not bad too.

Thanks Ann for the recommendation. I think it’s not due to the pandemic, I think KCT is promoting its inhouse premix. Okay, where else can I get the premix you got from Sunlik? I don’t patronize Sunlik.
Hi Priscilla, I seldom go to KCT nowadays and never tried their inhouse premix before. You can try PH premix.
Hi Ann,
Could you please advice if we should boil 300ml of Pandan water + 25g icing sugar + 23g shortening together and use only 150ml from this mixture?
Or should we boil and measure 150ml from the pandan water then add icing sugar and shortening?
Hi Adeline, you should boil more of the pandan water then measure to 300ml. Can keep the remaining pandan water in the fridge for a few days. I usually boiled 1 litre of pandan water, so that I can use it whenever I want to make more snowskin mooncakes.
Hi, Ann
May I know for how many days can I store the balance lotus paste in the chiller n freezer?
Thanks & God bless. 🙂
Hi Lilyn, The lotus paste can be kept in the chiller not the freezer for about 2 weeks.
很美丽,好喜欢看你月饼,全是美美。
谢谢你,有空要常来喔 🙂
The three multicoloured mooncakes look so classy and elegant. Fantastic!
Hi Ann! I have been following your Mooncakes Recipes and it turned out really well!
I am starting out my own blog and am wondering how you add the recipe instructions in a box and that it is easily printable through a click of the button?
Look forward to hearing from you!
Hi Miss Lady, Thank you for trying my recipes 😀
The recipe box is only available for WordPress.org. If you’re starting your blog with blogger.com then I think is good to use print friendly button as it is free of charge.
Hi Ann,
Went to KCT and they have two versions of the pre mix snow skin powder. One is transparent packaging and is packed by KCT, while the other packaging is the one (green colour) as shown in your above photo. KCT staff claimed the green packing is from Taiwan. May I know if you have used before the packing from KCT. Any difference from the Taiwan import package (green colour) . Thank you
Hi Dawn,
I’ve only used the green packing premix powder from Taiwan. Never tried the other one.
Hi Ann,
Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
Regards
Dawn Tay
Hi Ann, can the snowskin store in freezer before consume and how long can lasts without any preservatives? Thank you
Hi Irene, Not sure whether there are any preservatives in the premix snowskin flour. Don’t think is suitable to place the snowskin in the freezer because the dough skin will dries up and cracks.
Hi Ann,
Thank you for your reply.
Hi Ann, I realised that the imprint of the design on the mooncake is not defined. How should I improve? Thanks!
Hi Ann, I meant the imprint of the design on my mooncake is not defined. How should I improve? Thanks!
Hi Ai Li, After you placed the dough inside the mould, place it flat on the table and pump it a few times before releasing the mooncake.
Hi Ann
Thanks for the recipe. Just want to confirm if the measurement of the ingredients that you stated for the dough will produce about 250g-300g of dough? I’m using a 75g mould. Any recommendation for the best ratio of dough to filling?
Thanks in advance.
Eve
Hi Eve,
You can use 35g for the dough and 40g for the filling. You can adjust the thickness for the dough and filling if you find them too thick or too thin.
Hi Ann, i don’t have those premix snow skin flour, can i make on my own?
Hi Rachel, Very sorry, I don’t the formula of the premix snow flour.
Your snowskin mooncakes are so pretty! I love the pastel colors! Must try next year lol! Happy Mid Autumn Festival to you !
Hi, Ann shi fu, i loved your mooncake, I’d like to ask you about KCT pinpe premix powder. Can i find KCT pinpe premix powdwe in Singapore NTUC fairprice supermaket ? Or can I use Phoon Huat red man brand premix snow powder? looking forward for your reply..thank you so much.
Hi Christine, The KCT pinpe premix is only available at their shop. If you want to use PH brand premix, then you’ve to follow their recipe printed on their packaging. I’ve never tried PH premix before.
Dear Ann,
Noted, Thank you very much for your reply. 🙂
Hi Ann, like to seek your advice if i can half the recipe to make smaller batch? Thanks!
Sure, why not 😀
我很喜欢那个第二张7彩的冰皮月饼。很美丽哦。。。。。。
明年做来玩玩 🙂
Hi, admiring your good looking mooncakes! I am a new hand mooncake maker, can you please tell what is the size of your mould and how many pcs of mooncakes for this recipe?
Thank you for your response! Have a nice day! 🙂
Hi Kym Qua, The mould size is 50g and you can make about 30 pieces in one recipe.
I think I have said it before but you do make the prettiest cakes I have ever seen… A lot of the ingredients you use are really foreign to me and I'd probably mess it up to no end but it looks beautiful!
Thank you Simone for your compliment. I've learned a lot from you too, your food and photography.
Soooo pretty!! 中秋节快乐!
好喜欢你的月饼,拍得很梦幻呢!
谢谢!你拍的也很美:)
Ann, Happy Mid Autumn Festival to you!

Ann, you are the mooncake queen with all your beautiful creations lah. I always drool at your photos. Btw Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to you and your family!
Thank you Baby Sumo. I'm so flattered by your compliment.
Hello Anncoo!. Missing the moon cakes . My husband and I used to buy these each year while we were in malaysia. Can you make it using regular flour?
Hi Nammi, how are you? You're not in Malaysia now?
For making snowskin must use cooked glutinous flour that is koufen. You can buy the premix, it is easier to handle. Using plain flour, will get a touch mooncake.
Hi Nammi, You're not in Malaysia now? For making snowskin must use cooked glutinous flour that is koufen and now using premix flour is more convenient.
Happy Mid Autumn Festival!!! I just bought some snowskin mooncakes two weeks ago. I think I will make them myself next year! Thank you for a great recipe. 🙂
Happy Mid Autumn Festival to you too!
