Categories     dessert

Time 3h45m

Yield about 24 whoopie pies

Number Of Ingredients 18

Cooking spray
4 ounces soft butter
2 cups sugar
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon vinegar
1 tablespoon red food coloring
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound soft cream cheese, room temperature
3 tablespoons soft butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon juice
8 ounces confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Take the buttermilk out of the refrigerator about 2 hours before preparing the batter. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
  • In a standing mixer, cream the butter and the sugar with the paddle attachment. Add the egg and once it is incorporated with the butter add the buttermilk. The mixture will look curdled. Add the vanilla, vinegar and food coloring.
  • In a medium bowl combine all of the dry ingredients together. Add the dry ingredients to the buttermilk mixture and combine completely, scraping down the sides of the bowl to get everything well mixed. Put the batter in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Use a spoon or a small ice cream scoop and scoop the batter onto the cooking sheet, leaving at least a 3-inch space between scoops. Bake until the cookies are springy and firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool completely before filling.
  • Filling:
  • Put the cream cheese and butter into the bowl of a standing mixer and using the paddle attachment, beat on medium speed until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and lemon juice and beat to combine.
  • Lower the speed to slow and carefully add the sugar, 1 cup at a time. When all of the sugar has been added, switch to the whisk attachment and beat until fluffy.
  • Using a butter knife, spread the desired amount of frosting between 2 cookies. Arrange the completed pies on a serving dish and repeat with remaining cookies and frosting.

RED VELVET WHOOPIE PIES WITH CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE FILLING



Red Velvet Whoopie Pies with Chocolate Cream Cheese Filling image

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.

Categories     Pies

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 c cake flour
2 tsp cocoa, unsweetened
2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/3 c butter, room temp.
1 c sugar
2 eggs, room temp.
2 Tbsp buttermilk, room temp.
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla flavor
1 Tbsp red food coloring
FILLING
8 oz cream cheese, room temp.
2/3 stick parkay margarine, room temp.
1 tsp vanilla flavor
4 1/2 c powdered sugar
1 c well chopped pecan, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven 375 degrees.
  • 2. Mix flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a small mixing bowl, set aside.
  • 3. In a large mixing bowl cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Then beat in the buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla, and red food coloring.
  • 4. Once combined, add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix until throughly combined.
  • 5. Onto a parchment paper lined sheet tray, drop batter using an ice cream scoop, forming 2-inch round circles(dough will be sticky like). Bake 8-10 minutes (mine baked for 10 min.). Allow to cool for a a few minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
  • 6. Filling: In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese, margarine, and vanilla until smooth. Add the sugar and on low speed, beat until incorporated. Increase speed to high and mix until fluffy. Add pecan and mix with spoon until pecans are incorporated. Spread filling between two cooled cookies.
  • 7. Note: This will only make about five BIG whoopie pies. If you want more pies then use a smaller ice cream or cookie scoop. ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder: Opt for a Dutch-processed cocoa powder, which offers a richer, darker flavor than natural cocoa powder.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough, dense pies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough firms it up and makes it easier to handle. This helps prevent the pies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion the batter: A cookie scoop ensures that the pies are all uniform in size and shape. This helps them bake evenly.
  • Bake the pies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking can dry out the pies. Be careful not to overbake them.
  • Let the pies cool completely before filling: This allows the pies to set and makes them easier to handle.
  • Use a generous amount of filling: The filling is what makes these pies so delicious, so don't be stingy. Pipe or spread the filling generously between the pie layers.

Conclusion:

Red velvet whoopie pies are a delightful and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with different fillings and toppings. With their rich red color, creamy filling, and soft, cakey texture, these pies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
