Vanilla Whoopie Pies

Whoopie Pies are not exactly something you hear of everyday and even when you do, they don’t sound particularly appealing! I promise you though, this American treat (Fact: they are official state ‘treat’ of Maine, not to be confused with the official state dessert, which is blueberry pie!) is worth all of the effort. These soft and fluffy half-cake-half-biscuit creations originated in New England and are a Pennsylvania Amish tradition. They consist of two baked rounds, commonly flavoured with cocoa, sandwiched together with a marshmallow ‘fluff’ or cream filling. These vanilla whoopie pies are a twist on the American classic!
