Step 3: Form mooncake
– Flatten the ball of snow skin into a thin circle.
– Place the ball of filling in the center of the dough and seal the filling with the snowskin dough.
– Put the ball seam-side up into the floured mold and pack it in gently.
– Flip it over onto flat surface.
– Press down hard on the lever of the mooncake mold, so that the mooncake shape is formed and the face plate makes an imprint on the top of the mooncake.
– Then squeeze to release and your mooncake.
– Repeat with remaining dough. Chill for six hours before serving.
Step 4: Plate and serve!
