Ingredients - Serves 12
- Heavy cream - 1/2 cup
- Semi-sweet chocolate - 4 ounces, chopped
- Vanilla custard - 1 cup
- Milk - 1/2 cup
- Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
- Egg - 1
- Granulated sugar - 1 cup
- Unsalted butter - 1/2 cup, softened
- Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
- Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
- All-purpose flour - 2 cups
Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once the cookies are cooled, spread a generous amount of vanilla custard on the flat side of half of the cookies.
- Top with the remaining cookies to create sandwich pies.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chopped chocolate and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
- Dip the top of each whoopie pie into the chocolate ganache, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Place the dipped whoopie pies on a wire rack to allow the ganache to set.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the custard to set.
- Enjoy these delicious Boston Cream Whoopie Pies!
