In celebration of this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, Australian artisan chocolatier Koko Black has launched four limited-edition, handcrafted mooncakes for its 2026 collection.

The 2026 Mooncake Collection blends classic flavour influences with premium chocolate craftsmanship and offers a contemporary take on a centuries-old celebration.

Traditionally shared among family and friends, mooncakes are a symbol of unity, prosperity and good fortune during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This year, Koko Black invites you to celebrate the occasion with a collection designed for sharing, gifting and gathering, while honouring the traditions that make the festival so significant.

The 2026 Mooncake Collection features four unique flavours combinations:

  • Mango Spice: Creamy milk chocolate ganache infused with Chinese 5 spice, combined with a mango jelly yolk, encased in 54% dark chocolate.
  • Matcha Red Bean: Savoury red bean ganache with a matcha shortbread biscuit, encased in a matcha white chocolate.
  • Crispy Almond Caramel: Velvety vanilla caramel with a crunchy almond praline layer, encased in milk chocolate.
  • Cherry Pistachio: Sour cherry jelly with a crunchy pistachio praline encased in caramelised white chocolate.

“Mooncakes are a meaningful part of Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations and an important symbol of connection and togetherness,” said Remco Brigou, head chocolatier and product innovation manager at Koko Black.

“This collection takes inspiration from traditional flavours and ingredients, while showcasing the creativity and craftsmanship that define Koko Black. We wanted to create something that feels both familiar and unexpected.”

Available in an 8-piece gift box for $109.90, 4-piece gift box for $59.90 and individually for $12.90, the collection is now available until 28 September in Koko Black stores nationwide or ordered online from the company’s website.
