Thank you (though it's the moulds that make them pretty, really!). I've never tried freezing the paste so can't say for sure, but I'd have thought hopefully, if it's well wrapped it should be OK - try wrapping in cling wrap/film then also foil as you might with cake to keep it well sealed.

Thank you for sharing your recipe. Your mooncakes look beautiful! Just curious, but can I make the black sesame paste and freeze it? When I take it out of the freezer, will it be dry? Thanks!

No, the rice flour in the filling is not cooked. It's fine to eat, but if you have concerns you can use cooked instead.

My son is learning Mandarin and every year the local Confucius Institute puts together a Mid Autumn Festival which we attend. We love the mooncakes, happy to have come across your recipe, it will be fun to make our own this year, if they turn out like yours we might shared some of them with his classmates:)

Thanks Lauren, they are not as hard as you might think, the only tricky bit is getting the outer layer really thin but that it still holds together. But worth it!

I decided I wasn't quite brave enough to try the traditional wooden moulds, the plastic ones are very easy, but one day 🙂 Thanks, hope you do try again!

Thanks Wendy, I admit I was quite pleased with how they turned out and I did take my time a bit (much to the annoyance of my son watching who wanted tot ry them!). But he agreed they were worth the wait.
