Chocolate Chip Whoopie Pies with Strawberry Whipped Cream Filling

Chocolate Chip Whoopie Pies with Strawberry Whipped Cream Filling recipe picturesI feel like it’s been forever since we’ve done a dessert post. It probably hasn’t even been a full week, but still…I’m going through withdrawls. Valentine’s day is right around the corner and it is high time we post some sweet treats for your sweetie.

I am really happy with how these Whoopie Pies turned out. Chocolate Chip Whoopie Pies with Strawberry Whipped Cream Filling. Need I say more?

Ok, I’ll say more. I was slightly scared about trying to form these into hearts, but with the help of a cookie cutter it was really simple. They held their shape and baked perfectly, just slightly golden. They turned out adorable if I do say so myself. And I do.

But more importantly they tasted really good too. I’ve always been a fan of strawberries in my desserts. They add a pop of color and an extra dose of sweetness, which I heart. Taste…a 10, presentation…a 10, creativity…a 10. The judges rule they’re perfect.

Also…Jen gave me the Whoopie Pie book pictured below for Christmas and I’m finally getting around to using it. There are lots of fun and creative things that I can’t wait to try!! Thanks Jen Chocolate Chip Whoopie Pies with Strawberry Whipped Cream Filling recipe pictures

    Holy awesomeness, those look amazing!! Glad the whoopie pie book is getting good use ;)

  2. I never think to use my cookie cutouts for chocolate chip cookies. I mean…why not?!?! Super cute whoopies you got here.

    By the way, your baked brie would be a perfect addition to my list of Super Bowl snacks. Hope you’ll swing by and join Dipstock. :)

    Great idea to use the cookie cutter to form the shapes! Love that you included fresh strawberries in them too.

  4. Mmmm – these look SO SO SO delicious! Chocolate chip cookes are practically my favourite dessert – along with strawberry cheesecake. I can definitely see this in my valentine future… :)

  5. I love these! And you made them so cute for Valentine’s day! It’s been bookmarked for the big day. Thanks for sharing :)

    Do you think instead of using cream for the filling, I could use vanilla ice cream? How would I do that? My girlfriend & I are trying this genius idea Sunday but aren’t fans . of the cream . Thanks!

      Eric, I would spread a thin layer (maybe 1/2 inch) of ice cream in a baking dish. Freeze it then use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out the ice cream. I think it is a great idea! Let me know if it works out!
