Yam puree mooncake [baby food]

Cooking Instructions

1. Peel the yam and dice it for later use. Yam I recommend you to use iron stick yam, it has less water, it is easier to steam, and it is easy to shape. When peeling yams, also pay attention to wearing gloves to avoid contact with juice allergies.

   

2. The yams and red dates are all steamed in the pot, and the stuffing I use here is jujube paste, and you can change it to fruit, purple potato, and sweet potato if you want to.

   

3. The steamed yam is pounded into mashed yam, and if you want a more delicate taste, you can sift it to feel better.
   
   *If the steamed yam cubes feel that the moisture is still relatively large, you can put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry them for a while to discharge the water vapor, which is also more convenient for future shaping.

   

4. Share two portions of the mashed yam, add 1/2 of the red dragon juice, mix well and set aside.
   
   *The main purpose of adding red heart dragon juice is to enrich the color, you can also change it to other juices or replace it with beetroot powder.

   

5. Take the jujube out of the pot, peel the skin and remove the core, the steamed jujube skin is still very easy to peel off, the baby of the young month, this kind of jujube paste I suggest you still make it more delicate.

   

6. Mash the jujube into a more delicate jujube paste and set it aside. The dates themselves are sweet enough, so there is no extra sugar added here.

   

7. Mix two kinds of yam puree into one piece, knead it round, and then press it flat for later use.

   

8. Stuff the yam skin with suitable jujube puree, I made this, the amount of yam puree and jujube paste is almost 50 grams in total, you can refer to it.

   

9. Wrap the yam skin little by little, wait until it is completely wrapped, and give it a clump to make the shape neater.

   

10. The surface of the yam mud pillar is wrapped with desiccated coconut, one of which is to increase the fragrance, and the other can also prevent sticking, so that the shaped moon cake can be better demolded.

    

11. Roll the yam dough into a cylindrical shape, put it in a mold, and press it out to your liking. If you don't have this kind of moon cake mold at home, you can replace it with other cartoon molds that usually make supplementary food for children.
