Lets Make Whoopie!
One of the desserts I made for my Thanksgiving Dinner was Pumpkin Whoopie Pies! Whoopie pies are kind of a big deal in the North East. They consist of a chocolate cake like cookie arranged in sandwiches with a creaming whipped vanilla filling. OMG Delish! Since it was Thanksgiving, it seemed only appropriate to make Pumpkin flavored Whoopie Pies!
I’ve never made Whoopie Pies before, so I decided to stick with a recipe, which you can check out by clicking here. (FYI- I don’t like baking with apple sauce, so I substituted in sour cream!) The recipe was super easy and uber tasty. To make the dessert a bit more festive, I baked the pies in my pumpkin cake pan from Wilton (got it at Joanne Fabric after Halloween 50% off! awesome!) The pies were filled with a cream cheese filling which I piped in with a fancy piping tip. Once they were assembled, I finished them with green white chocolate leaves on top (a simple chocolate leaf mold will do!) which I attached with a little frosting. Didn’t these little handheld treats come out adorable?!?! They were a big hit at Thanksgiving, not only because of how cute they are, but because of how tasty they were! I will so make these again! I kind of can’t wait!
Happy Baking!
