Brownie filling

  • 6 small brownies * , can be storebought or homemade. Cut into 1 x 1 inch squares before using

Mooncake Crust

Instructions
 

Brownie Filling

  • Prepare the brownie filling by cutting the brownie into 1 x 1 inch squares before using
  • Let cool in the freezer until completely frozen

Mooncake Crust

  • Mix almond flour, walnut butter, sugar, and milk together until smooth
  • Once mixed, let the dough rest for 5 minutes. The dough will be sticky at first but it just needs some time for the almond flour to absorb the liquids.
  • Divide dough into 6 equal pieces
  • Flatten each piece of dough into a disk, then wrap the prepared brownie square with the dough
  • Use a ligtly greased*** mold to press the dough into mooncake shapes and set onto a clean parchment paper. I used a 75g mooncake mold, but you can use any mold size you have at home - just be sure to adjust the filling size!
  • Bake in a preheated 340F / 170C oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned.
  • For the best texture, store these mooncakes inside an airtight container and chill overnight in the fridge. The mooncakes actually taste better the day after.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

*You can also use lotus paste, white bean paste, or red bean paste as mooncake fillings.

**I used raw cane sugar for this recipe, but for lower carb options, you can also use sugar-free sweeteners such as monk fruit sweetener 
***I used olive oil cooking spray to grease my mooncake mold. If you don’t have olive oil cooking spray you can use other vegetable oil sprays or melted coconut oil.
