1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup vegetable shortening
1 cup marshmallow cream (such as Marshmallow Fluff®)
2 teaspoons whole milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Mix oats, flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Beat into the creamed butter mixture on low speed. Fold in chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     dessert

Time 2h40m

Yield 16 to 24 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup dark cocoa powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheets
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup melted dark chocolate, optional

Steps:

  • For the whoopee pies: Position 2 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
  • Combine both kinds of chocolate and the butter in a medium heatproof bowl. Fill a medium pot about a third of the way with water and bring to a simmer. Place the over the simmering water and lower the heat. Melt the chocolate and butter gently together, stirring and scraping the sides to avoid scorching, until melted, then remove the bowl from the heat. Cool 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Whisk together the sugar, eggs and vanilla in another bowl. Set aside. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder in another bowl. Whisk in the egg and then the chocolate mixture. Do not overmix.
  • Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray and drop the batter on them in large spoonfuls about 2 inches in diameter, leaving room between each to allow spreading.
  • Bake, rotating and switching the positions of baking sheets halfway through, until the whoopee pies puff up slightly and settle, 6 to 8 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before gingerly lifting them off and transferring to a flat surface.
  • For the filling: Heat the milk in a medium saucepan until hot and add 3/4 cup toasted almonds. Turn off the heat. Allow the almonds to steep in the milk 25 to 30 minutes. Strain the milk and pour it back into the same pan.
  • Beat together the sugar, cornstarch, flour and egg yolks in an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until thick, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Pour some of the hot milk mixture over the eggs and blend. Pour the egg mixture back into the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the almond extract and continue to cook until the mixture begins to bubble, then cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring. Transfer to a bowl and cover with a layer of plastic pressed against the surface so the cream doesn't form a skin. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Sandwich some of the cream and the remaining 1/4 cup toasted almonds between chocolate rounds. Drizzle with melted chocolate if using. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
One 18.25-ounce box red velvet cake mix
3 eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
1/4 cup milk, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for dusting
1/4 teaspoon fine salt

Steps:

  • For the whoopie pies: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cake mix, eggs, 1 cup water, vegetable oil, vanilla and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl with a spatula occasionally. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Cut out an equal number of heart shapes with a cookie cutter and set aside while you make the filling.
  • For the filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until soft, about 1 minute. Add the chocolate, milk and vanilla, and beat to incorporate. Reduce the speed to low and add the powdered sugar and salt. Once the sugar is incorporated, increase the speed to medium and beat until the filling is fluffy, about another minute.
  • To assemble the whoopie pies, use a small spatula or spoon to gently spread a generous tablespoon of the filling over the surface of one of the hearts. Top with another heart and gently press down to sandwich. Repeat with the remaining hearts. Dust lightly with powdered sugar, and serve.
