Today’s Special: Midnight Mooncake Surprise

As the moon shines brightly in the night sky, I feel inspired to share a magical recipe that will transport your taste buds to a realm of mystery and delight. Today, I present to you my creation: the Midnight Mooncake Surprise. This dish is perfect for a whimsical gathering with friends or a cozy night in by yourself.

Ingredients:

  • black rice flour (200g)
  • dragonfruit puree (150g)
  • star anise extract (30ml)
  • moonbeam sugar (100g)
  • galaxy sprinkles (50g)
  • stardust glaze (100ml)

Kitchen Tools:

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • moon-shaped mold
  • oven
  • pastry brush

To begin, preheat your oven to 180°C and grease your moon-shaped mold with a bit of stardust glaze. In a mixing bowl, combine the black rice flour, dragonfruit puree, star anise extract, and moonbeam sugar. Mix until you have a smooth batter that shimmers like the night sky.

Pour the batter into the moon-shaped mold, filling it 3/4 of the way full. Place the mold in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the mooncakes are set and slightly golden on top. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Once the mooncakes have cooled slightly, use a pastry brush to coat them with the remaining stardust glaze. Sprinkle the galaxy sprinkles on top, and let the mooncakes sit for a few minutes to allow the glaze to set and the sprinkles to cling to the surface like distant stars.

The Midnight Mooncake Surprise is now ready to be enjoyed! Each bite will transport you to a realm of magic and wonder, with flavors that dance on your palate like moonbeams across the night sky.
