All traditional mooncakes are made of syrup and are golden brown in color. Some of the raw materials of the snowy skin mooncakes are glutinous rice, and the mooncakes made of them have a white appearance, which is stored in the freezer and kept in the refrigerator when sold.

The skin of the snowy moon cake is basically made of glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour (that is, rice flour), and clear noodles (that is, wheat starch) with cream, milk, and a small amount of sugar, which are steamed and cooled, and the filling is no different from ordinary moon cakes. Snowy skin moon cakes do not need to be baked, they are simple to make, and basically do not use oil, and there is less sugar, less sugar, and less sugar, which is low in sugar, low oil and low calorie than ordinary moon cakes.

The snowy skin mooncakes are basically transparent white, which looks good, and they can also be made into colors by adding different ingredients, which is very beautiful. So it's more tempting than ordinary mooncakes.

My biggest impression was that it was too unpalatable.

Snowy skin mooncakes, in fact, can be understood in another way, the original snowy skin mooncakes were wrapped in glutinous rice skin with lotus seed puree.

version, after the right to slowly evolve, to this day, there are many styles, mainly in the change of the filling, now what fruit meat puree, ice sip are available, and the skin from glutinous rice skin to today's chocolate skin. Therefore, the difference between Bingbo and traditional mooncakes is that Bingbo mooncakes can now be said to be a dessert, but they just happened to come out during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone focused their attention on the word "mooncakes".

Compared with the pie crust moon cake, everyone is certainly not unfamiliar with this name, it has been very popular in recent years, especially by young people, but in fact, what everyone doesn't know is that it is not a new product, as early as more than 20 years ago It has appeared in Hong Kong more than 20 years ago.

First, the formula is different

The crust of traditional mooncakes is generally made of wheat flour and invert sugar syrup, and the color after baking is golden yellow, and the color is darker. The main raw material of snowy skin mooncakes is glutinous rice, the skin is white, and some pigments are also used to make different colors.

Therefore, from the perspective of appearance alone, snowy skin mooncakes are much more fancy than traditional mooncakes, and basically rainbow color snowy mooncakes can be made. Most of the traditional moon cakes take the "single-minded" route, mainly golden yellow.

Second, the production method is different

Like the traditional moon cakes, they need to be baked after they are made, and they also need to be brushed twice in the process of baking, and after the baking is completed, they need to be placed for two days to wait for the moon cakes to return to oil, and the taste will be better.

The snow skin mooncakes are much simpler to make, they do not need to be baked, they are directly wrapped in steamed glutinous rice flour and then pressed into shape with a mold. And it is generally refrigerated and preserved in the snow skin, which will make the taste more delicious.

Third, the taste is different

Most of the taste of traditional moon cakes is that the crust is relatively crispy or soft, and the fillings in the disturbance pie are basically salty and sweet, including bean paste filling, fresh meat filling, flower filling, egg yolk filling, etc., there are many types of fillings, and the taste is relatively solid.

The taste of the snowy skin moon cake is the kind of glutinous, which is very Q elastic in the mouth, and most of the fillings are mainly delicate and lubricated fillings, such as cream mousse filling, fruit filling, poplar branch manna filling, etc., and it will taste more like dessert.

In my opinion, traditional mooncakes and snowy mooncakes have their own characteristics, and the audience groups are not the same, such as traditional mooncakes are more popular with middle-aged and elderly people, while snowy mooncakes are more popular among young people.

Personally, I prefer to eat Xuehe snow skin moon cakes, because I feel that the traditional moon cake crust is more greasy, with large oil content and super high calories, which is not friendly to people like me who are prone to gain weight, but the snow skin moon cakes are different, the taste is very soft and glutinous, and it is also a slightly sweet taste, I love it very much

There are certain differences between snowy skin mooncakes and traditional mooncakes in terms of production process, taste, appearance and packaging. Here are the main differences between them:

1.How to make it: Traditional mooncakes are usually made by wrapping the filling in a syrup crust or puff pastry and then baking it.

The snow skin mooncake uses glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour as the main raw materials to make the outer skin, which is steamed and wrapped in the filling, without baking, so the skin taste is more delicate and soft.

2.Taste: Snowy mooncakes have a more delicate and soft texture because the skin is not baked, retaining the original taste of glutinous rice flour. Traditional mooncakes have a crispier crust and a crispy texture.

3.Appearance: The appearance of snow skin and slag mooncakes is usually white or transparent, which is more simple and fashionable than traditional mooncakes. The outer skin of traditional mooncakes comes in a variety of colors, including golden, light yellow, brown-red, etc., and the appearance is richer.

4.Fillings: There are a wide variety of fillings for snowy skin mooncakes, in addition to the traditional flavors such as bean paste and five kernels, there are also many innovative flavors such as fruit, matcha, chocolate, etc. The fillings of traditional mooncakes are more traditional, such as bean paste, five kernels, egg yolk, lotus paste, etc.

5.Packaging: The packaging of snowy mooncakes is usually simple and fashionable, and the packaging is mainly transparent plastic. The packaging of traditional moon cakes is more particular, common paper, iron boxes, etc., and the packaging is usually printed with auspicious patterns, poems, etc., with a strong cultural atmosphere.

In general, there is a big difference between snowy skin mooncakes and traditional mooncakes in terms of taste, appearance, and packaging. Because of its unique production process and taste, snowy skin mooncakes are gradually becoming more and more popular among young people. Traditional mooncakes still have an important role in traditional festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival.
