Latest Five-nut Mooncake Filling Recipe

The Mid-Autumn Festival is the oldest and most traditional festival in China. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, every household admires the moon and eats moon cakes. There are many kinds of mooncakes, such as those with five-nut, egg yolk, and sesame fillings. The most popular one is the five-nut mooncake. Friends who like to eat mooncakes can actually make it at home. Prepare the raw materials, sesame seeds, melon seeds, peanuts, sugar, etc., cook them in boiling water and wrap them in the dough. The specific steps are explained in detail below.

1. Put raw walnut kernels and raw peanut kernels into a baking tray and bake in the middle layer of a preheated oven (180 degrees for 10 minutes) for 10 minutes. After baking for 5 minutes, add the dried rose flowers and dried osmanthus flowers and bake for another five minutes.

2. Put the roasted walnut kernels and peanut kernels in a blender and blend them into coarse grains (I personally prefer those with some coarse grains, which tastes better. If you don’t like it, you can use a blender to blend it a few more times until it becomes powder). Then blend the rose and osmanthus flowers into coarse powder.

3. Put the cooked sesame seeds in a blender and grind them into powder. Add the raisins and mix.

After the above materials are stirred, mix them together, then add an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour and mix well (I didn’t use a scale, I estimated it to be around 100 grams, you can add it according to your own preference, as long as you can knead the materials together without sticking to your hands after adding water), then add milk powder and mix well, add sugar osmanthus, and add water little by little so that the above materials can be kneaded together.
