It’s time for something new!! While browsing other foodblogs or online shops to buy new recipe books I got really curious what these Whoopie Pies (Whoopies) really are. Some look very sophisticated, others funny. At the beginning I thought they were just a variation of the famous Macaroons, but the dough is completely different.
Originally, Whoopie Pies were made out of chocolate cake, gingerbread or pumpkin cake with a sweet and soft creamy filling or frosting. However this recipe makes me think more of a very soft cookie dough. Depending on what dough you take, you can also shape them with a decorating bag. For this time, I used cookie cutters.
Depending on the size you can serve them with a coffee, or as I did, because my cookie cutters were just so big, make an entire dessert out of it. The vanilla dough allows you to take almost whatever filling or icing you want. The recipe suggests chocolate spread, but I also tried it with Speculoos spread and raspberry jam. Depending on how big they are, and for what purpose you want to serve them, you can vary between the different fillings.
Why you’ll love this recipe?
Soft, cake-like texture: These whoopie pies have a light, fluffy texture that’s almost like biting into a mini cake, making them incredibly satisfying and tender.
Classic vanilla flavour: The vanilla in the cakes provides a warm, comforting sweetness that pairs perfectly with the rich chocolate spread.
Decadent chocolate filling: The creamy chocolate spread sandwiched between two vanilla cakes creates a perfect balance of flavours, adding just the right amount of indulgence to each bite.
Fun and easy to eat: With their handheld size, these whoopie pies are perfect for on-the-go snacking, party treats, or just a fun dessert to enjoy anytime.
