Black sesame shortbread

Overview

Ever since I saw the wife cake made by Xiaochu Piaoxiang, I have always wanted to make a similar shortbread. Today I happened to have winter melon at home, so I made this shortbread according to my own taste. The puff pastry is mainly based on Chef Piao Xiang’s recipe, and I adjusted the filling according to my own taste. If you like desserts like me, but don’t like overly sweet taste, then I believe you will like this puff pastry as much as I do
