This weekend we made Whoopie Pies from a recipe in last month’s Sainsburys Magazine. Traditionally they’re made from chocolate sponge and aren’t decorated with anything, but the sainsburys recipe suggested icing and sugar balls, so we went with it.
I used a confectioners pipe to make the sponge biscuits more even, but even then it didn’t work out amazingly well when my nozzle fell off. They kinda space out when they start to cook anyway.
The interesting thing about the whoopie pie is the filling, it’s actually a marshmallow cream. I don’t kow if you’ve ever had that stuff called Marshmallow fluff before, in the jar, but it’s kinda like that… mixed with butter. I think next time I might not even include the butter, made it a bit sickly.
The sponge bits taste like the sponge fingers that you put in the bottom of a trifle, really nice and light.
So I haven’t included the recipe because you can just google for a good one, it might even be on the sainsburys website? They were fun to make, though, and I’ll probably have another go with a chocolate version.
ETA: the Sainsburys recipe told me that these only last 6hrs after they’ve been filled and iced?! What the hell?! we had them the next day and didn’t die, so it must be to do with the quality of them degrading (ie they might go soggy).
