1. When making stuffing for traditional moon cakes, lard (halal sesame oil), additives, preservatives, etc. are generally added. Without these things, the stuffing will be loose, not suitable for agglomeration and easy to rot. Mooncakes with frozen skin are usually filled with bean paste, egg yolk, lotus seed paste and even cream, coffee, matcha, ice cream or various fruits, without animal fat and additives, which is more beneficial to health than traditional mooncakes.
2. Compared with traditional moon cakes, the biggest disadvantage of ice-covered moon cakes is preservation. Because it has not been baked at high temperature, it has a high risk of microorganisms, so it must be stored under 5℃ and eaten as soon as possible.
