About Vanilla cream bun
A vanilla cream bun is a soft, sweet pastry filled with vanilla-flavored cream, commonly enjoyed as a dessert or snack in Western and European cuisines. The bun typically consists of enriched white flour dough, sugar, butter, and eggs, filled with a creamy mixture often made with vanilla-flavored custard or whipped cream. This pastry is rich in carbohydrates and fats, providing a quick source of energy, but is also high in sugars and calories, primarily due to its ingredients. A single bun may range from 200-300 calories depending on size and recipe.
Health Benefits
- Provides a fast source of energy due to its high carbohydrate content (approximately 30-40g per serving).
- Contains small amounts of calcium from dairy-based filling, contributing to bone health.
- Eggs in the dough provide protein and B vitamins such as B12, supporting energy metabolism.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or refrigerate for 2-3 days. Avoid freezing as the cream filling may separate.
