Kiwi Moonlight Mooncake

Time flies. Today is my last day of Zespri Kiwi challenge, mark my Kiwi project Go live date. It has been "fruitful" 2 weeks, fruitful due to plenty of kiwis in my daily diet consumption. In these 14 days, I realized that kiwi fruit not only as dessert, but it can be served in any kind of format of the food and bakes. Versatile to well match or complement with anything. The unique sourness and sweetness, can be only uniquely find in kiwi fruit.

For my last day of challenge, I've created my Kiwi signature dish throughout this kiwi project journey. This is my Kiwi mooncake aka moonlight mooncake. The reason of moonlight is, I love the transparency of the jelly, fresh slices of green kiwi and sungold kiwi reflected its light through the jelly wall. You can straightaway tell which one is green kiwi mooncake or sun gold mooncake. Can you guess the following, which one is green and which one is yellow sun gold?

I did quite a lot of series mooncake before, in fact I still prefer jelly mooncake. First is that less sweet and not oily at all. This signature kiwi mooncake is totally healthy for old folks or kids, as it contains of full range of protein and vitamin. If you still prefer the conventional jelly mooncake, you can basically add on another layer of lotus paste or red bean paste in between.

Wish all my readers and followers Happy Mid-Autumn Festival 2013 in advance first.

Cut into half and see the texture of each layer.
