Whoopie pie
6 servings
60 minutes
Whoopie pie is a soft, airy cookie with a creamy filling, originating from the USA but inspired by European baking traditions. Its history is believed to have started in Pennsylvania, where the Amish made these treats and shouted 'Whoopie!' in joy. The biscuit has a rich chocolate flavor and its soft texture pairs perfectly with thick creamy frosting. This dessert is an ideal treat for a cozy tea time or celebration, offering rich creamy-chocolate notes in every bite. Cold aging in the fridge enhances the flavor and texture, making the cookie even softer. Whoopie pies are enjoyed as a standalone dessert that pairs wonderfully with a cup of aromatic coffee or tea and also make a fantastic sweet gift.
