Mooncakes with chestnut paste and bean paste

Overview

Belated mooncakes~~ The popular peach mountain skin mooncakes this year are really hot. I've always wanted to try it myself, but I've been too lazy to do it. Recently, fresh chestnuts were on the market. I was really greedy, so I bought some and cooked them. The chestnuts cooked by myself are delicious, very soft and glutinous~~ I specially left some to make chestnut paste filling, so I came up with this mooncake. Friends who like stuffing but not the skin are in luck, this mooncake can be filled with stuffing inside and out~~

  10. Fry the water in the chestnut puree until it is dry, take it out and let it cool. Fry the chestnut rong as dry as possible, so that you can save the step of applying oil or dry powder into the mold later and it will not stick to the mold.
