Pumpkin Ang Ku Kueh 南瓜红龟糕

I was very surprised and happy when I received this mini ang ku kueh mould from Eileen two weeks ago. Eileen also shared her Pumpkin Ang Ku Kueh's recipe on her blog using the same mould and her AKK looked so cute and pretty lol! Since Eileen sent me this cute mini moulds, I too made them and at the same time support the LTU Pumpkin theme event for October.

These pumpkin akk are soft and chewy and we finished them off within a day!

Thank you very much Eileen for these cute and lovely gifts. I love them to bits :)
非常感谢Eileen送的这些小可爱，实在太喜欢了！
