What’s not to love about a Whoopie Pie, especially a Valentine Whoopie Pie! Last year I made Red Velvet Whoopie Pies, so this year I thought I’d make Chocolate Whoopie Pies instead. I used the same recipe I use for Chocolate Whoopie Pies, except I used the same technique I used when making the Red Velvet Whoopie Pies. I drew a heart shape on parchment paper (using a heart-shaped cookie cutter) with a pencil, then turned the parchment paper over and used a pastry bag to pipe out the Whoopie Pie batter into a heart shape. I also used the same recipe I always use for Whoopie Pie Filing, except I added a teaspoon of strawberry extract to the recipe. I then cut out a little heart shape in a piece of parchment paper and then placed the heart in the center of each Whoopie Pie. I then sprinkled confectioner sugar on top each Whoopie Pie.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Have a Wonderful Valentine’s Day!
