Cooking tips:

1. I have made ice skin several times.This recipe is my favorite ice skin recipe.It is soft and chewy, and the taste is also good.After the third day in the refrigerator, it starts to harden and crack.If the filling is too sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar and condensed milk in the recipe.

2. Before putting the filled ice skin into the mold, it is best to shape it into an oval, which is easier to put into the mold. Remember to keep the sealed side away from the cutting edge. The mooncake will not have wrinkles because the wrinkles are on the bottom of the mooncake.This does not affect the appearance.

3. The ice skin tastes better after being refrigerated.It is best to refrigerate for 2-3 hours, the ice skin will be just cool and chewy.Ice skin mooncakes are best eaten fresh, keep them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for more than one day, the ice skin will absorb the moisture in the refrigerator and become hard, and the texture will not be as good.

4. If you don't have matcha powder and cocoa powder, you can use food coloring instead.But I don't like food coloring, even though it can be made into beautiful colors, but it is absolutely not as good as natural powders in terms of taste and other aspects.
