Watermelon shaped bakes seems to be in the trend this year. You can find watermelon shaped bread, roll cakes and now mooncakes! This idea is from a bakery in Taiwan who hit the news recently with this creation. This is my first time using Ghee and I am surprise to find out that this cultured butter is full of health benefits. I love it as I am one who advocates using all natural, healthy and premium ingredients for baking!

This is my first time making homemade bean paste and I am glad that I am in control of the sugar level and have made these low sugar version. Mung bean paste can be used for making many types of desserts like Jin Deui (a type of fried Chinese pastry made from glutinous rice flour, coated with sesame seeds on the outside and is crisp and chewy), Ang Ku Kueh (a small round or oval shaped Chinese pastry with soft stickyglutinous rice flour skin wrapped around a sweet filling in the centre), mooncakes etc.
这是我第一次试做豆蓉，自己做的不但健康还可以控制糖份。绿豆蓉可以用来制作不同的甜点如煎堆/芝麻球（一种油炸的甜点，用糯米粉制成，外层沾了芝麻，咬下去酥脆又有嚼劲），红龟粿，月饼等等。
I have used the low-sugar mung bean paste to make a batch of watermelon-shaped pastry mooncakes (as seen below) using all natural ingredients and no artificial colourings or baking chemicals at all. Isn't it cute?
我用了自制的低糖绿豆蓉，做了以下的西瓜造型月饼，用的是全天然材料，无人工色素或化学，可爱吗？
