Coffee Egg York Jelly Mooncake

I'm so excited! This is my first attempt on this jelly mooncake..a complete set with jelly egg yolk and filling. I know, a lot of works need to be done but it's OK! As long as I enjoy the whole process I think it worth though...he he! It's not an easy job after all. Everything must be calculated accurately and have to make sure the jelly wasn't too soft nor too hard. I've bought a few jelly mooncake moulds. Really pretty! Wait..I'll show you later.

1/2 cup water

2-1/2 tbsp sugar

1 tspn agar-agar powder

1/3 cup thick coconut milk

1/2 tbsp custard powder

a little orange colouring

- combine coconut milk, custard powder and colouring together and mix well.

- combine water, sugar and agar-agar powder and bring to boil, stir well.

- add in coconut mixture and cook untill thicken.

- off the heat and pour into the mould.

- remove jelly from the mould.

Ingredients for Jelly Filling :

2/3 cup evaporated milk

1/3 cup water

2-1/2 tbsp sugar

1 tspn agar-agar powder

These are the moulds I mentioned about. There are lots of shapes and patterns.

Ingredients for Coffee Jelly Skin :

1-3/4 cup water

3-1/2 tbsp sugar

2-1/2 tspn instant coffee powder(mixed with 3-1/3 tbsp water)

2-1/2 tspn agar-agar powder

1 tspn coffee emulco

A really satisfying result! The jelly mooncake turned out beautifully.....and I'm dancing with joy...ha ha!

Pretty??? Oooo...and it's really tasty as well. The outer layer skin is a little crunchy and the filling is soft like custard, you can really differentiate it! I guess this is another success trial....hip hip hooray...ha ha!
