Lotus Paste Jelly Mooncake
Soon after producing the Blue Pea with Coconut Milk Jelly Mooncake the other day, I had to find a way to use up the extra jelly filling. For example, we produced thinner white layer in the main photo, we only applied around 1/6 of the total skin jelly liquid for white and five/6 for strawberry.

When eaten with the snow skin, it is reminiscent of the Japanese chocolate daifuku – mochi stuffed with chocolate and truffle.
