Orange flavored egg yolks
Mid autumn festival is just round the corner. There are quite a few types of mooncakes. For me, I like eating jelly mooncake though Kev will say it is filled with sugar, water and some jelly powder. This year I want to try making it as well. To imitate the usual mooncake with an egg yolk in the middle, we will have to start off by making the orange yolk. There are 2 types of yolk. One is the orange flavored yolk and another one is the carrot flavored yolk. For this post I will explain the steps for the orange flavored yolk. For most of my jelly mooncake recipes, I got it from
Little Duck's Kitchen and of course as usual, I will modify the recipe to suit my taste and try to make it a little healthier for my family. Surprisingly for this egg yolk recipe, I did not even make the slightest change to it because Kev and I love the consistency and taste.

For the mould, you will probably have to source it from the local bakery or get it online. The mould can also be used to make round ice cubes which is kinda cool to serve it in your drink.
