Snowy Mooncake

What are Snowy Mooncake

Known as Bīng Pí Yuè Bǐng/冰皮 in Chinese, snow skin mooncake is believed to have originated in Hong Kong. It has become increasingly popular in Chinese bakeries.

The original version of snow skin mooncake has a white, chewy, mochi-like outer layer and is served cold. That’s how it got the name “snow skin”. Nowadays, you can find colorful ones which are even more attractive.

They can be stuffed with regular mooncake fillings, such as red bean paste, lotus paste, black sesame paste and more.
