Assorted Artisanal MoonCakes produced by Chinese pastry chefs in Varese:
MOONCAKE WITH WALNUTS AND “5 SEEDS,” MOONCAKE WITH COCONUT AND CRANBERRY, MOONCAKE WITH BLACK SESAME
Mooncakes (月饼yuebing) are small round cakes with a pasty and dense filling, which have a firm yolk in the center and decorations on the surface: they are the typical sweets of the Mid-Autumn Festival, an important anniversary of the Chinese tradition.
The filling of moon cakes can come in a variety of flavors, from the more traditional such as red bean, lotus seed paste and date paste, to the more modern such as chocolate, coffee and even tiramisu. In the center, the treats contain a hard-boiled yolk, usually from a duck egg, echoing the round shape of the moon. The ideograms of “unity” and “harmony” are usually engraved on their surface or simple decorations are drawn. The cupcakes are usually enjoyed with tea. We suggest Puer and red teas as its best for the autumn and winter period.
Mooncakes are known to be high in calories: a traditional mooncake filled with lotus seed paste and egg yolk contains as many as 790 calories!
