Taste & Role

Salty🍯 Sweet

Used as a sweet filling or spread rather than a cooking fat: it is piped or slathered into soft milk breads, buns, and toast, where it melts slightly and adds richness. It can also be spread on warm pancakes or steamed buns.

What it is

Snow velvet paste is a fluffy whipped butter spread popular in Taiwanese bakeries, made by creaming butter with powdered sugar, milk, and sometimes egg or milk powder until light and custard-like. The butter version is the classic base, prized for its airy, melt-in-the-mouth texture. It is best known as the filling for Taiwanese 'snow' breads and thick-sliced toast.
