1.2 Steps to Make Butter Jelly Mooncakes
Creating jelly mooncakes with butter is incredibly simple and much easier compared to baked mooncake recipes or traditional sticky rice mooncakes.
Step 1: Firstly, take a clean pot and add 200ml of fresh milk, 3g of agar agar powder, and 30g of sugar. Stir until the agar agar powder dissolves. Then, add a bit of coconut cream and bring it to a boil. Pour the mixture into molds (using small bowls), let it cool completely until the jelly sets firm.
Stir together agar agar powder, fresh milk, and sugar.
Step 2: Once the jelly in the bowls has set, pour into small molds for the filling.
Step 3: Next, peel the butter and put the flesh into a blender. Blend with 200ml of unsweetened fresh milk and the remaining sugar until smooth. Pour 100ml into a pot and add 7g of agar agar powder. Bring to a boil. Finally, pour the blended butter mixture into the pot of jelly, stir well, then turn off the heat.
Add butter to the jelly pot and stir well.
Step 4: Pour the butter jelly into 1/3 of the mold, when the jelly sets slightly, add the coconut filling in the center, then continue pouring the butter jelly to fill the mold. Let the jelly cool slightly, then place it in the fridge for about 2 hours until it sets firm and cold.

Step 2: Peel the red dragon fruit, put it in a blender and blend thoroughly with 0.5 liters of water.
Step 3: Blend the beans smoothly and then pour into jelly molds (only fill 1/3 of the mold to make the filling layer in the middle). After removing the green beans from the mold, use a knife to trim around each side about 1cm to prevent sticking when adding the filling.
Step 4: Pour water into a pot, then add agar agar powder and stir until dissolved. Add sugar and let it sit for about 10 minutes for the agar agar to bloom. Put all the blended red dragon fruit into the jelly pot and bring to a boil, then add 50g of coconut milk powder and stir well before turning off the heat.
