Mixed nuts mooncake is my favourite among all the traditional mooncakes since my childhood days. These sweet and savoury mooncakes are filled with crunchy nuts, dried fruits, and the fragrance of Chinese Jin Hua ham 金华火腿. The recipe for making mixed nuts mooncakes is versatile, you can mix and tweak as many types of nuts and dried fruits combinations as you desired.
For this recipe, I have added some black sesame paste in the fillings to replace the use of oil. This is a guilt-free and healthier alternative to mooncakes that uses oil, lard, and sweetened bean paste fillings. I've shared a traditional mooncake recipe in the previous year, therefore I'd just archive the mooncake fillings in this blog post.
