Vanilla and Chestnut Cream Whoopies
Vanilla and Chestnut Cream Whoopies are a delicious twist on the classic whoopie pie. These treats consist of soft, cake-like cookies flavored with vanilla, sandwiched around a rich chestnut cream filling. The cookies are made using a vanilla-infused batter that gives them a light and fluffy texture. The chestnut cream filling is prepared by combining sweetened chestnut puree with cream and sometimes mascarpone or butter, creating a smooth and decadent layer. These whoopie pies offer a unique combination of flavors, with the sweet nuttiness of the chestnut complementing the subtle warmth of the vanilla. They are perfect for special occasions or as a delightful afternoon treat.
