Prepare Custard Filling:

  • Step 2: Sieve the Wheat Flour, Plain Flour and Custard Powder into the Milk and stir quickly to combine well. Add the Eggs, Egg Yolks and Butter in. Keep on the heat and keep stirring the mixture until it becomes thick. Remove the pan from the stove and stir for another 3 minutes until it turns to smooth texture.
  • Step 3: Pour the smooth mixture into a large bowl and cover it with a cling film. Set it aside to let it cool down and then refrigerate it for 3 hours until it becomes hard.

Prepare Snowy Skin:

  • Step 1: Sieve the Glutinous Rice Flour, Rice Flour and Wheat Flour into a large mixing bowl. Add in the Coconut Milk, Sugar and Sunflower Oil. Mix well.
  • Step 2: Strain the mixture into a glass bowl and set aside for 30 minutes. Cover the bowl with cling film and steam it over high heat for 30 minutes.
  • Step 3: Transfer to a plate while it's still hot and cover it with cling film. Knead the paste for 5 minutes until the surface becomes smooth and oily. Set aside to let it cool down and refrigerate it for 6 hours.

Assemble the Mooncakes:

Repeat this step until all the Snowy Skin and Custard Filling are used up.
