Little Bear Fun Cantonese-style Mooncakes
Overview
For those who only love Cantonese-style mooncakes, they will never tire of making all kinds of interesting Cantonese-style mooncakes. This mooncake incorporates the appearance and taste of non-traditional mooncakes into the traditional recipe. Not only does the mooncake make it interesting and attractive to children without using a mold, but it also has a cocoa-flavored mooncake skin. Now children who like cocoa flavor can find a flavor that suits them. The filling is also kneaded with meat floss. You can give it a try

Ingredients
Steps
-
Prepare the materials for making mooncakes. The materials mentioned here are the materials for the mooncake skin. Prepare the filling materials by yourself. First, mix the inverted syrup, water and peanut oil with a manual egg beater
-
Pour in the all-purpose flour and use a spatula to mix evenly into a dough, then use a spatula to mix the flour evenly and make it smooth and no dry powder can be seen
-
Take 310 grams of the kneaded dough, add cocoa powder and knead well. You can increase or decrease the cocoa powder according to the color of the dough. Then wrap the two doughs in plastic wrap and let them rest for at least two or three hours
-
First, wrap your favorite filling with a filling. The stuffing I bought was too sweet, so I kneaded an appropriate amount of pork floss into it. You can also add some chopped sesame seeds and peanuts you fried in it
-
Take 90% of the chocolate skin (the other 10% is used to make bear ears), then divide it into several small portions and roll each into a ball shape to make a mooncake skin, and wrap the filling in it (remind the skin to be as thin as possible, too much skin will easily collapse. If the filling is too soft and difficult to wrap, the filling can be placed in the freezer layer of the refrigerator to freeze hard before wrapping. Each filling I wrapped is 29 grams, and the skin is 21 grams)
-
Knead some remaining cocoa peel to make the ears and nose, and use the original color pie crust to make the bear's mouth and eyes. Be careful not to make the ears too big. If they are too big, they will easily fall when baked. It is best to place the ears directly above the spherical shape, so that they will not fall and deform when baked
-
Each finished bear is placed on a small piece of oil paper for easy transfer to the baking pan. The remaining skin and fillings can be used to make mooncakes using a separate mold
-
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees for 5 minutes. Spray a small amount of water mist on the mooncakes before baking, then put them in the middle layer and bake for about three to five minutes. The exact time is not fixed. Take them out when the surface becomes slightly hard and the shape is fixed
-
Brush the mooncakes with egg wash (reminder to use one egg yolk plus a quarter of the egg white plus 15 grams of water for the mooncakes). Put the brushed mooncakes into the oven and continue to bake for 10 to 15 minutes. The time is not exact. You can check the surface of the mooncakes to make sure they don't burn. The mooncakes will always feel a little soft during the baking process. It doesn't matter. They will slowly harden after being taken out to cool down. Some shapes may be deformed. Just pinch it carefully with your hands to correct the shape before it cools down. Be careful not to get burned.
-
After the mooncakes are completely cooled and solidified, the mooncakes will become hard. Soak the chocolate pen in a pot of boiling water for a while. Take it out while it is hot and draw the eyes, nose and mouth of the bear on each mooncake. Note that the chocolate pen cools quickly. If it gets cold, it will solidify and cannot be squeezed out. You can screw on the lid and put it into a hot water pot and blanch it before use
-
The prepared mooncakes cannot be eaten immediately. They need to be left for three or four days to recover the oil before eating. The surface of the bear will look much better after the oil has recovered
