Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies with Cream Cheese filling
I know I am late but this year, Easter is pretty early. Just a few days back it was St. Patrick's Day and I was busy making all Green Recipes. And, now I am all about colors. After all, Easter is a festival of colors. You can see that in these Colorful Easter Crinkle cookies and colorful Easter deviled Eggs.
As we are all quite upset with the present situation and we are pretty unsure of what is going to happen until Easter. But, no matter what happens, life has to move on. And, therefore, we are definitely going to celebrate Easter. Maybe no Outdoor Easter Egg-hunt this year. But we can always do that indoors. Maybe we won't have guests visiting from far away places, but we have our family members with us. And, that is no less than a blessing.
After I made Carrot Cake Cookies with cream cheese frosting yesterday, I thought, why not take this recipe a notch higher and make something that all Americans love. Whoopie Pies! I know we have tasted this in peanut butter or chocolate. But, I promise you that this Carrot Cake Whoopie pie tastes awesome.
And, the best part is that I didn't have to apply much brain. It was just simply baking the carrot cake cookies like I did yesterday and then preparing them up to become whoopie pies.
To convert them into whoopie pies, I had already prepared a cream cheese, pineapple, and sugar mixture. I turned my cookie upside down (of course when they were cool enough) and then used a piping bag to apply a generous amount of cream cheese over it. And, the next moment I placed another carrot cake cookie over the cream. And it was done. How hard can it be?
We are always thinking by the name of a recipe that this sounds hard. This sounds complicated. But the reality is they are as easy as a child's play. Anybody in the world can make this Carrot Cake Whoopie Pie.
In fact, honestly, before I ever made this whoopie pie, this was sort of a big name for me. I used to think that I could never make such a complicated recipe. The funny part is that I never checked its recipe. Now, that I have made it all by myself, I feel laughing at myself for building it up in my head for such a long time.
How does these Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies Taste?
Honestly, they taste awesome with a capital A. Gosh! I wish I had words to describe its taste. The carroty crunchy cookie with a sweet and sour cream cheese frosting flavored with delicious juicy pineapple tastes amazing. You won't forget this easily!
