Instructions
 

Prep the Filling First

  • Prepare the filling: scoop Nutella or other chocolate hazelnut spread of choice (like Nutiva) into 1-2 Tablespoon sized portions into a clean parchment paper
    Freeze the scoops of Nutella for 1-2 hours until completely solid.
    NOTE: You can also use other mooncake fillings of choice like white bean paste. Check out my ULTIMATE LIST OF MOONCAKE FILLINGS post for more ideas!*

Make the Mooncake Crust

  • Mix the chocolate hazelnut spread and coconut flour in a bowl
  • Add more 1-2 Tbsp more coconut flour (or Nutella) if needed, a tablespoon at a time, until a soft but firm dough consistency is achieved.
  • Divide dough into 6 equal pieces
  • Flatten each piece of dough into a disk, then wrap the prepared filling with the mooncake dough.
  • Use a mold to press the dough into mooncake shapes and set onto a clean parchment paper.
  • Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 12-14 minutes
  • For best texture, store in an airtight container overnight in the fridge, then eat next day.

Notes

Update 8/16/22: You can substitute all or part of the coconut flour with almond flour in this recipe with great results, but the baking time needs to be reduced from 12-15 minutes to 8-10 minutes. The almond flour mooncakes are more buttery, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture, but they burn easily and are much more fragile so keep in mind to cool them completely once they're out of the oven or they'll break apart!
Update 5/14/23: new photos, and changed the filling from matcha bean paste to Nutella
