GF Mao Shang Wang Snowskin Mooncake

Creating Snow Skin Mooncakes

With the growing popularity of Mao Shang Wang (MSW) durian, I was inspired to create a unique mooncake experience. Back in 2010, when we first started, there weren’t many people selling Mao Shang Wang snow skin mooncakes, which just goes to show how long we've been around.

Festive products have always been key highlights for us throughout the year. When it comes to mooncakes, while some of our customers prefer the traditional baked skin, others exclusively enjoy snow skin. I've tasted many snow-skin mooncakes, but I’ve never grown fond of them.  

Snow skins are always too sweet. The main ingredient for the skin is icing sugar and with most fillings, sweet on sweet is just too overpowering even for someone like myself who enjoys sweet treats

Crafting the Perfect Bite

However, I love durian.

So, it just made sense for me to develop a version that combined the best of both worlds: the indulgence of durian with a snow skin that I would actually love.

For the snow skin, I wanted to strike a balance between the traditional texture and the chewiness of mochi, creating something that feels both unique and familiar.

I wanted to create a durian mooncake that is authentically and completely durian. So, I made the filling 100% MSW purée, carefully blended to remove any fibrous strings.

The result is something truly beautiful. The smooth, creamy 100% MSW durian filling, encased in delicate snow skin, is a melt-in-your-mouth treat that’s best enjoyed frozen or chilled, offering an ice cream-like indulgence.
