If you close your eyes, what snack do you remember from your childhood that you probably haven’t enjoyed in quite some time? A few treats come to mind for us—laying poolside from sun up to sundown, waiting for the ice cream truck to roll through the parking lot, and getting a cream-filled whoopie pie.
Do you guys remember those?
This recipe is Pumpkin Whoopie Pie, homemade fresh but still the same incredible taste you enjoyed as a little one with no care in the world.
A whoopie pie is an American base dessert. They are typically called pies but also can be called sandwiches, cookies, or cake. The “bread” portion is made out of chocolate, vanilla, or even pumpkin cake, which our recipe uses today! Pumpkin is a super popular ingredient in a lot of savory and sweet recipes.
In this moist dessert full of flavor, we used one of our favorite ingredients, pumpkin puree. It is a pretty inexpensive ingredient, so when you go to the store next, stock up, and that way, you can create all your pumpkin favorites whenever you want!
Summer is quickly approaching, and after the last year of virtual learning, your kids deserve a special treat. Picture this; it’s a 90-degree day in the middle of summer. The family is on vacation at the beach. Soaking up the rays, feeling the sting of sand against your skin, and enjoying all the special foods your family does not usually get to enjoy while at home. But snacks and eating out can get super expensive.
In a week, you could easily spend a couple of hundred dollars just feeding the family. Why not bring your snacks and the ones the kids will love?
You are maybe thinking, but the flavor is pumpkin? Just because it’s known as a seasonal flavor does not mean it is limited to the few months of the year when it gets cold, and we spend our weekends raking up leaves.
We love pumpkin, and if you have never enjoyed a fluffy Pumpkin Whoopie Pie, you are certainly in for a special surprise.
The filling is prepared by combining cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and the essential heavy whipping cream.
