Holiday Whoopie Pies-WMR

Whoopie Pie

I was talking to my womenfriends (I made up a new word, because it suits the blog) this morning about Fico scores and how that was going to be my next WMR blog topic. Thennnnnnn…I started making these Whoopie Pies and was asked for the recipe a few times so I digress…next week Fico, this week Whoopies. I am sure no one will mind  😀

I will not take credit for this original recipe but will take credit for searching endlessly and trying at least a dozen different recipes before I found and tried and fell in love with this one, Whoopie Pies VIII. Allow me to provide to you my adaptations and tips on this recipe so your next Whoopie experience will be “Whoopie”  😛

  1. This recipe calls for sour milk. It is the easiest thing about this recipe. To sour milk: Measure 1 cup milk, either whole or 2 percent; Add 1 tsp plain vinegar and stir; let it stand for 10-15 minutes and Voilà there you have sour milk for your recipe.

  2. My next tip is use a stand mixer if you have one with the paddle attachment, makes things super convenient.

  3. Next–Be VERY careful about the types of pans you use. Because I make my pies double the scoop size of the recipe I have to watch them closely so they bake all the way through but don’t burn on the bottom. If you use non-stick baking sheets I suggest you don’t grease the cookie sheets as the recipe calls for. In my opinion if you do butter them, the bottoms tend to burn faster.

  4. Cool those sweet babies thoroughly before stuffing them with the most delicious filling which I will talk about in tip 5.

  5. Ok here is where I totally deviated from the original recipe, for the filling. I just could not fathom putting shortening into the cake and then into the filling so I went on a quest to find a suitable substitute and believe me I found it with White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting! I actually make a little extra and keep it in a jar in the fridge (don’t judge me)  😆
  6. To make them Holiday Whoopies I took 3-4 candy canes, put them in a sealed plastic bag and crushed them up with a rolling pin. Then just simply sprinkled the crushed cane pieces into the filling along the edges.

  7. Lastly individually wrap your Whoopies and display on a Holiday plate and play the game “Seriously how long will these last”  🙂 Enjoy!
