Wondering does anyone have a recipe for moon cake? It's a lazy man version of cream puffs and its made in a 9x13 pan It has the cream puff base and then has a pudding layer and then a layer of whip cream. It is awesome, but I can't find a recipe for it? Any help would be great!

thanks,

MOON CAKES~~

INGREDIENTS~~~
Filling:
1 pound red azuki beans
water
3/4 cup lard or oil
13/4 cups sugar
Water-Shortening Dough:
2 cups flour
5 tablespoons lard
10 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon salt
Flaky Dough
Method~~
1 cup flour
5 tablespoons lard
red food coloring for design
PREPARATION:

Filling Instructions: Soak red beans in water to cover 2 hours. Drain and discard the water. Cover with 8 cups fresh water and bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat 1-1/2 hours or until skins open.
Strain the beans and discard the skins. Place the strained beans in several layers of cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess water.
Place in a saucepan with the lard or oil and the sugar. Cook, stirring continuously, until almost all the moisture has evaporated. Let cool.

Dough Instructions: You will need 2 cups of filling for the mooncakes. Divide this into 20 portions and shape into balls.Mix ingredients for the water-shortening dough and the flaky dough separately until smooth. Divide each dough into 20 equal portions.
Wrap one portion of flaky dough inside each portion of water-shortening dough. Roll out each piece of dough, then fold in thirds to form three layers. Roll out again, and once more fold in thirds to form three layers.
Flatten each piece of dough with the palm of your hand to form a 3" circle. Place one portion of filling in the center. Gather the edges to enclose the filling and pinch to seal. Place the filled packet in the mold, gently pressing to fit. Invert and remove the mold.
Dilute red food coloring with water and pour onto a damp paper towel on a plate. Take some food coloring onto the cookie-design stamp, then press on top of the mooncake.
Repeat process for remaining mooncakes. Arrange mooncakes on a baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool before serving.

Thanks for the reply, but that is not what I'm looking for.

I think this may be the one your looking for. It is just like a cream puff but spread flat and topped with lots of different pudding tops. It is really good with pistachio pudding.
