The day has come for the next generation to develop a new mooncake recipe! For the last decade, our mom has been in charge of mooncakes, but now we're getting more comfortable not only making them, but experimenting with new recipes! Hence this recipe for Pecan Pie Mooncakes, which combines a traditional Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival treat with classic American fall flavors of pecan pie! (Mid-Autumn Festival is a little bit like China's Thanksgiving in terms of its significance!)
This recipe is for all of you out there who think you don’t like mooncakes or who want to try making them for the first time. The flavors are deliciously autumnal and familiar, and bonus: they’re easier to make than any of our other mooncake recipes!
#ad We partnered with the Georgia Pecan Growers Association to bring you this Pecan Pie Mooncake recipe. We used Georgia Pecans for this recipe-did you know that pecans are America's native nut? And that Georgia grows the most pecans in the country? Pecans are packed with antioxidants, protein, fiber, and healthy fats. So basically...these mooncakes are kinda healthy. ;) As always on The Woks of Life, all opinions are our own. Enjoy!
