This is the Godiva 2024 Mid-Autumn Black Sesame & Pineapple Mooncake.

The mooncake featured a tart shell made with ingredients including 1.3% black sesame powder, cocoa powder, salted egg yolk powder, and almond powder. Inside, it had layers of pineapple sesame paste (containing 10% pineapple juice, pineapple fibre, 0.5% black sesame powder, and yuzu purée). On top of the paste was a rich milk chocolate filling (18.3% milk chocolate, with at least 25% cocoa solids and 19% milk solids), encasing a circular tart shell. A cocoa plate with the Godiva branding topped the mooncake.

The tart shell had a dense, crunchy, biscuit-like texture, with the black sesame providing a subtle nuttiness and a hint of savouriness. The pineapple contributed a refreshing balance of sweetness and acidity, along with a slight fibrous texture. The presence of the black sesame in the pineapple sesame paste was not overt, but served to enhance the richness of the milk chocolate filling. Overall, this mooncake delivered on both flavour and texture, meeting the high standards expected from Godiva’s premium pricing.

This Godiva 2024 Mid-Autumn Black Sesame & Pineapple Mooncake contained 44 g mooncakes. It was produced in Hong Kong and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2024.
