However, Chinese people are getting bored with traditional style moon cakes. Thus, ice-cream moon cakes become popular in China. Haagen-Dazs, BAXY and China’s Yili have all made their own ice-cream moon cakes. As you know, the prices are more expensive than those traditional moon cakes. Compared with traditional moon cakes, ice-cream moon cakes are not easy to carry. My friend who works in Yili told me that dry ice was put in the box to avoid the ice-cream being melted soon. However, it just worked for around 2 hours. See Haagen-Dazs’s ice-cream moon cakes.

You can put the mold into the refrigerator if necessary. Repeat two or three times to thicken the white chocolate wall.

Step 3 Put 1 tablespoon semi-melt ice cream into the mold and tamp down it with your tablespoon. Put the mold into the refrigerator for 20 minutes, take it out and put some white chocolate liquid to seal the mold. Then freeze in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, take it out and separate the ice-cream moon cake from the mold.

You can make brown chocolate, green tea and strawberry moon cakes by following step 2 and 3.

The prices for branded ice-cream moon cakes are expensive. So I will make some ice-cream moon cakes for me according to your recipe. Hope I won't screw it up.

Last week, I went to the supuer market. The moon cakes were on sales but the prices were much higher. A piece of moon cake cost 7.5 rmb. How can I afford to eat it?
