Purple Sweet Potato & Coconut Snowskin Mooncake Recipe 🥮 🍠 🥥

Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with “Purple Sweet Potato & Coconut Snowskin Mooncakes”! 🥮 This year, I wanted to make a healthier mooncake, so I opted for purple sweet potatoes! 🍠 Their vibrant purple color is so gorgeous, and since they’re naturally sweetened, I didn’t add any sugar aside from sweetened condensed milk. Also, instead of using neutral oil, I substituted it with coconut oil and added coconut milk to amplify the coconut flavor, which paired really well with the sweet potato. ☺️ I hope you enjoy this recipe! If you’ve tried these mooncakes, please drop me a comment. I would love to hear from you. 💕

For those who aren’t familiar with the Mid-Autumn Festival, this is a popular Chinese holiday that falls on the 15th day of the 8th month on the lunar calendar when the moon is at its fullest 🌕. The history of this festival dates back over 3,000 years to thank the gods and the moon for a good harvest. To celebrate, families reunite and enjoy a big feast together (similar to Thanksgiving in the United States). Lanterns are lit up to symbolize prosperity, and mooncakes are eaten to honor the moon. 🥮
