Start by making pandan juice. Cut cleaned pandan leaves into 1 inch or smaller pieces. Put them in blender with 175ml water and blend away. Then using a fine strainer, strain the pandan juice into a cup and set aside.

Prepare a large mixing bowl and sieve koh fun (cooked glutinous rice flour) and icing sugar into the bowl. Mix well together. Then using a spatula, make a well in the middle and gradually add in the pandan juice and mix to form a soft dough. You can use a scraper to easier mix the dough.

Then add shortening and mix well into the dough. Use your hand to knead till a smooth and soft dough is formed.

Cling wrap and leave to rest for 15 minutes. Using a weighing scale, divide the soft dough into 30g each. Cover with cling wrap to prevent drying out. And we are ready to assemble the mooncakes.

Sprinkle a portion of mooncake skin with koh fan, roll into a round shape, thicker at the centre. Wrap up the filling with mooncake skin and shape into a ball. Be sure to tightly wrap the filling with the mooncake skin. Sprinkle more koh fun on the wrapped ball to prevent sticking. Then insert the dough into the mooncake mould, press firmly and release the mooncake. Continue to do the same for all the mooncake skin and filling.
