WORLD'S BEST MAINE WHOOPIE PIES - AYUH



World's Best Maine Whoopie Pies - Ayuh image

Whoopie Pies are one of those comfort foods that make you want more than one. They just don't get any better. Though Whoopie Pies can be delicious any old way...the preferred way to have them is about 5-10 minutes out of the freezer. Tall glass of milk and one of these Whoopies...you will not have a care in the world! The frosting is phenomenal, but make sure you remember that when making it, it will look like a real mess until you've beaten it on high for at least five minutes. Sometime after that it will become like nothing you've seen or eaten. This makes a big batch and is easily halved.

Time 1h

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ cup vegetable shortening
2 cups milk
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (such as Hershey's®)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (such as Hershey's®)
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 cup milk
1 cup butter at room temperature
1 cup vegetable shortening
2 cups white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 (7 ounce) jars marshmallow creme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cut and set aside 25 pieces of plastic wrap about 5 inches square.
  • For cookies, beat 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening, 2 cups of milk, 2 cups of sugar, the eggs, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whisk the 4 cups of flour with both amounts of unsweetened cocoa, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined. Beat the flour mixture into the wet ingredients just until smooth.
  • Scoop up the batter by teaspoons, and drop onto ungreased baking sheets in small round dollops about 2 inches apart. Recipe should make about 50 cookies. The cookies will rise and expand a lot.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set in the middle, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheets for several minutes before removing to finish cooling on racks.
  • To make the filling, place 1 cup milk in a microwave-safe measuring cup, and cook in microwave until hot but not simmering, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the heated milk into a large mixing bowl. Add the cup of room temperature butter, 1 cup of vegetable shortening, 2 cups of sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and the marshmallow creme. Beat the mixture on high speed until the frosting is fluffy, 5 to 10 minutes. At first the frosting will appear lumpy, but keep beating.
  • To fill the cookies, choose 2 cookies that are about the same size, and spread about 1 1/2 tablespoon of the frosting onto the flat bottom of a cookie. Top with the other cookie, flat side down, and wrap the filled cookie in a sheet of plastic wrap. Place the filled cookie into the freezer. Repeat with remaining cookies and frosting, wrapping each whoopie pie in plastic wrap and freezing.
  • To serve, remove whoopie pies from the freezer and allow to thaw until very cold but not frozen, 10 to 15 minutes.

WHOOPIE PIE SHELLS
4 cup(s) sifted flour
2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1 cup(s) baking cocoa
2 cup(s) sugar
1 cup(s) hot water
1/2 cup(s) butter, softened
1/2 cup(s) shortening
1 cup(s) sour milk
2 - eggs
1 teaspoon(s) real vanilla extract
WHOOPIE PIE FILLING
6 tablespoon(s) marshmallow fluff
4 tablespoon(s) vanilla extract (this is not a typo)
4 tablespoon(s) flour
4 tablespoon(s) milk
4 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cup(s) shortening

Steps:

  • For the Whoopie Pie shells, start by sifting together the dry ingredients in a bowl. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together shortening, butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add milk, cocoa and hot water. Then add the dry ingredients. Scoop large rounded (tea- or table-) spoonfuls of batter onto a greased cookie sheet and space at least 2" apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
  • For the filling, add all ingredients in a bowl and beat until smooth. Then place a scoop (or two...or three) of filling between two of the shells and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your whoopie pies.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter and make the whoopie pies light and airy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the whoopie pies tough.
  • Bake the whoopie pies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the whoopie pies cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from melting.
  • Be creative with your fillings. You can use anything from traditional chocolate ganache to whipped cream or even fruit preserves.

Conclusion:

Whoopie pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make whoopie pies that are light, fluffy, and bursting with flavor. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
