#5: Whoopty Doo: Whoopie Pies!

while browsing through tastespotting one day, i came across a whole assortment of whoopie pie pictures. i had never heard of them before, but they sure looked yummy so i thought i'd try it out.

i found a recipe on allrecipes.com. you make the "buns" out of devils food cake mix (yes, f
rom the box...easy!). i also added chocolate chips to the mix at the end. i used a muffin top pan so it was a lot easier to have consistent sized tops and bottoms. while you're letting the cakes cool down, go ahead and make the creamy filling. i didn't follow the original instructions for the cream, but i tried out another user's recommendation. 2 egg whites, 1C butter, 1 lb box of confectioners sugar, 1 tsp Vanilla, 4 tbs flour and 4 tbs whole milk.

the end product reminds me of oreo cakesters. they are much better after being refrigerated and eaten the next day. i wonder how it would taste frozen...ice cream sandwich anyone?
