- Recipe is created for
  TM 5
  
  If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
  For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
  
  Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Mooncake Filling

Add the pre-soaked and cleaned white lotus seeds and water into the TM bowl and cook for 15 mins / 95°C / Speed 1

Snowskin Dough

Add the fried glutinous rice flour, sugar and shortening into the TM bowl and mix 1 min / Speed 1.

Knead the mixture for 3 mins /

Remove the dough onto a Thermomat.

Divide the dough into 20g pieces and shape into a ball. Set aside.

To assemble the mooncakes

Dust dough and the rolling pin with some fried glutinous rice flour to prevent from sticking. Flatten and roll each piece of dough. Wrap the skin around the filling and shape it into a ball.

Dust the mould with some fried glutinous rice flour. Insert the dough into the mould and press the dough firmly on the Thermomat. Release the mooncake slowly from the mould. Repeat until all the dough is used up.

Store mooncakes in an airtight container to avoid them from drying up. Chill them in the fridge for 30 mins before serving. Best served with a pot of Chinese tea. Mooncakes can be kept for up to a week.
