Fancy Momoyama Mooncakes
Overview
Momoyama mooncakes are a type of Japanese wagashi. The crust is made of traditional Japanese golden Momoyama skin and has a unique flavor. Momoyama skin originated from Momoyama, Japan. It is secretly prepared with white kidney bean paste, egg yolk, milk, cream and other ingredients. It is famous for its delicate taste. Applying Momoyama cake skin to mooncakes has changed the tradition of using wheat flour to make mooncake skins. Today's Momoyama mooncakes are richer in color and have more types of fillings. Ingredients (just for example, the amount here is 8 pieces): Crust: 200g cheese peach skin, appropriate amount of red wine peach skin, appropriate amount of matcha peach skin Filling: 104g pineapple filling, 96g red wine cranberry filling
