Dragon Fruit Jelly Mooncake Recipe

Mooncake festival is around the corner. This will be my first attempt in making jelly mooncakes. However, the outcome seems satisfying for me. I found that the mooncake jelly was quite easy to do, and the ingredients was simple and easy to find. I believe that everyone can make their own mooncake jelly too. Here is the recipe...

Ingredient (10 jelly mooncakes) :

For inner filling,

(A)

200g                                 Dragon fruit 

250ml                               Water 

60g                                     Sugar

1 tablespoon                  Agar-agar powder 

1 teaspoon                      Instant Jelly powder

(B) 

100ml                               Coconut milk

100ml                               Fresh milk

750ml                               Water 

110g                                   Sugar 

3 tablespoons                Agar-agar powder
