VANILLA WHOOPIE PIES WITH RASPBERRY CREAM FILLING



Vanilla Whoopie Pies with Raspberry Cream Filling image

Yum! The whoopie pies are soft and moist. The cream inside is super yummy. It's sweet, but a tad tart from the raspberry jam. So good! We made the pies with 2 tbsp of batter as suggested and it made a larger whoopie pie. Great if you're sharing with someone or really in the mood for something sweet. You could easily cut it back...

1 jar(s) marshmallow creme; 7oz
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 c seedless raspberry jam (or more to your taste)

Steps:

  • 3. Add your dry ingredients and mix well.
  • 4. Fill wells of pan with 2 tbsp of batter or drop onto a cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cakes.
  • 5. Bake for approx 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • 6. Let them cool on rack 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely on rack.
  • 7. For raspberry cream filling, in a mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add sugar and salt to butter; mix well.
  • 8. Add marshmallow creme and vanilla; blend well.
  • 9. Then add your raspberry jam and mix again. I also added a tad of pink food coloring to make it a bit pinker.
  • 10. To assemble, take two pies and sandwich marshmallow creme/jam mixture inside. Hope you enjoy!!! :-)

Tips for Making Perfect Vanilla Whoopie Pies:

- **Use High-Quality Ingredients:** Opt for fresh, room-temperature ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture. Use real butter and pure vanilla extract for an authentic taste. - **Cream the Butter and Sugar Thoroughly:** This step is crucial for creating a light and fluffy batter. Cream the butter and sugar together until they are pale and fluffy, and the sugar has completely dissolved. - **Gradually Add the Eggs:** Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps prevent the batter from curdling. - **Do Not Overmix the Batter:** Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. - **Chill the Dough Before Baking:** Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven. - **Bake the Cookies Until They Are Set:** The cookies should be slightly firm to the touch but still soft in the center. Overbaking can dry them out. - **Let the Cookies Cool Completely:** Allow the cookies to cool completely before filling them. This helps prevent the filling from making the cookies soggy. - **Use a Generous Amount of Filling:** Don't be shy with the filling! A generous amount of filling will make your whoopie pies extra delicious and decadent. - **Chill the Whoopie Pies Before Serving:** Chilling the whoopie pies helps the filling set and makes them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Vanilla whoopie pies are a classic American treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with different flavors of filling. With a few simple tips, you can create perfect vanilla whoopie pies that will be a hit with everyone who tries them.
