Another batch of high end mooncakes specially made for my girl. After scrolling and checking out the latest snow skin mooncakes availability in the market, where I accidentally bump into
this page. There are so many varieties of mooncakes selling out there .... with all sort of unique flavours from each designated chef.from all famous restaurants. There is the one that I couln't keep my eyes off it, the pandan snow skin mooncake with gula melaka fillings. It looks so simple but yet so delicious.
Now, this is my copycat homemade
pandan snow skin with jaggery sugar mooncake which is actually originated from Fullerton Cake Boutique of Singapore. The retail price is S$55.00 for four pieces (big ones). Fullerton Cake Boutique uses gula melaka for the additional filling but I used jaggery sugar instead. This is a highly recommended recipe. Believe me, its really really addictive.
About two years back, I have tried making snow skin with vodka & soft drinks, recipe at
here and then last year, I tried making the
durian snow skin mooncake. And this year, I'm trying something simple. Lucky that I still have some frozen cranberry in the fridge which is just perfect for the mooncake skin. So, here we go again.

I didn't use any pandan juice for my pandan snow skin mooncake during the earlier batch cause has run out of stock. I used pandan extract instead (
I used 1.5 tspn of pandan extract). The colour & aroma still turns out great.
