How to Make Matcha White Peach Mooncakes

Matcha white peach mooncakes, with their vibrant colors and delicate flavors, are a delightful twist on traditional treats. Here’s a simple guide to crafting these beauties at home.

Ingredients:

For the skin: 100g white peach paste, 50g matcha powder, 30g sugar, 20g melted butter.

For the filling: 200g white peach jam, 50g cream cheese, 1 tbsp lemon juice.

Steps:

1. Prepare the skin: In a bowl, mix white peach paste, matcha powder, and sugar until smooth. Gradually add melted butter and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Rest for 30 minutes.

2. Make the filling: Combine white peach jam, cream cheese, and lemon juice. Stir until well-blended. Chill for 15 minutes to firm up.

3. Shape the mooncakes: Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each into a circle, place a tablespoon of filling in the center, and wrap tightly. Roll into balls.

4. Mold and chill: Lightly dust mooncake molds with matcha powder. Press each dough ball into the mold to imprint the design, then tap out onto a plate. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

Serving Tip: Enjoy chilled for a refreshing taste, or pair with green tea to balance the sweetness. These mooncakes are best consumed within 3 days and make charming homemade gifts!
