I was encouraged  to try out more recipes on making jelly mooncakes especially since my first attempt to make Kiwi Cheese Jelly Mooncake   turned out successfully. This batch of mango jelly mooncake looks great too ! 

Ingredients

 The brand of agar-agar powder that I used to make these mango jelly mooncakes

 Agar-agar powder

Ingredients For mango Filling

 

1 cup water

60g sugar

2 tsp agar-agar powder

1 tbsp condensed milk

60 g mango flesh  ( blend with 2/3 cup of water to make mango puree )

40g mango flesh ( cut into cubes of 1/2 cm )

Instructions To Make the Mango Filling

 

1.  In a pot, bring water, sugar and agar-agar powder to a boil

2.  Once the mixture starts to bubble, turn off the heat

3.  Add in the condensed milk, mango puree and mango cubes

4.  Mix evenly

5.  Pour into round tart moulds and leave to set completely

6.  Once the jelly has set, remove from the tart moulds and set aside for later use

Note : The tart moulds used to make the jelly for the filling should be smaller in diameter and height than the mooncake mould

Ingredients For The White Jelly Skin

 

3 cups water
140g sugar
2 pandan leaves a.k.a. screw pine leaves
5 tsp agar-agar powder

2 tbsp condensed milk

1.  Bring the first four ingredients to a boil
2.  Lower the heat and add in the condensed milk and coconut milk
3.  Stir continuously until the mixture starts to bubble again
4.  Turn off the heat immediately

Instructions To Assemble The Mango Jelly Mooncake :

1.  Pour 1/2 cm of the white jelly skin mixture into a mooncake mould

2.  Leave to cool until it is almost set. That is    3/4 hardened

1.  Place a piece of the mango filling which has already hardened, on top of the white jelly skin which is only 3/4 hardened

2.  Place the mango filling into the centre of the mooncake mould

1.  Next, fill the mooncake mould with more of the white jelly skin mixture until it is full 

2.  Leave it to cool and to set completely

3.  Once it has cooled down and set, place the mould and the jelly mooncakes into the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes

4. Remove the  mango jelly mooncakes and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Looks great and tastes great as well
