Hey all!
Sorry I have been
MIA lately. I have had guests every other week and my life has been so
crazy. It is slowing down now and I am looking forward to catching
everyone up on my cooking and life. I just had my parents out to visit me
and decided to make them a welcoming dessert for when they arrived from the
airport. I really think this is a nice touch for visitors because it lets
them know you cared enough to welcome them after a long day of traveling.
I decided to make
Chocolate Strawberry Whoopie Pies. Something about chocolate and berries
together that I just can't get enough of!! This is extremely easy, but a little
time consuming! Set aside two hours for these pies.
What You Need:
Chocolate cake mix
3 Eggs
1/2 Cup Oil
3/4 Cup Water
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
8 oz Cream Cheese
Cool Whip
Fresh Strawberries
(Sliced)
How To Make It:
1. Heat Oven 350.
Beat
together cake mix, eggs, oil and water until smooth. Drop a tablespoon
(or two depending on desired size) of batter on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake 8-10 minutes and let cool on cookie sheet for 3 minutes before removing.
TIP: These will
spread out a lot in the oven so be mindful when filling up the cookie sheet
with batter
2. Beat Cream
Cheese, powdered sugar together until well combined. Fold in the entire
container of Cool Whip.
3. Once cookies
completely cool, take two cookies and place the icing on bottom of both cookies. Place sliced strawberries on the
iced cookie however you please then top with second iced cookie to make a
sandwich. Keep in the refrigerator to keep fresh!
* The icing is also
like a glue to hold it all together. I only used a very little amount of icing on the top cookie.
*Remember to leave
room around the edges so the icing won't drip.
