JOBBIE Peanut Butter Sesame Agar-Agar Mooncake

by Fifi Leong (@fifileongmy IG)

Here is a simple way to have “once in a blue moon” moment. Just take black sesame seed powder and peanut butter to make up the filling, sandwiched in between antioxidant pack blue pea flower coconut agar-agar layer for this easy-to-make mooncake version. 

It is a perfect blend of sweet and salty from peanut butter and a little bitter after taste from sesame which has made the mooncake an absolute treat!
