white lotus paste (for mooncakes)

The most traditional filling for Cantonese-style mooncakes, homemade white lotus paste is fragrant, delicate and floral. Many store-bought fillings incorporate lard for a richer mouthfeel. Feel free to use it below, though I opted for coconut oil for my own mooncakes, since it's similarly solid at room temperature, but a bit more accessible, and adds a fun coconut undertone to the flavor profile.
