Pandan Mung Bean Snowskin Mooncakes
These non-traditional mooncakes feature a velvety mung bean paste at the center flavored with pandan extract. Unlike traditional mooncakes, you can make these in a single day and enjoy them immediately. For the mung beans, make sure you use the yellow kind that have been peeled & split, and not the green ones (which still have their skins). If you're not a fan of coconut flavor, use refined coconut oil, butter, or vegetable shortening instead. The pandan extract can be omitted for a more traditional mung bean flavor, or you can experiment with adding other flavorings, like freeze dried strawberries or matcha/hojicha tea powder. If you like mochi, you'll love these! Snowskin recipe adapted from Catherine Zhang.
