Whoopie Pies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease or line your whoopie pie molds
In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed.
Pour in the buttermilk, with the rest of the dry ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe onto your whoopie pie molds. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until set. Allow shells to cool.
Cream Cheese Filling
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar until smooth. Then, add the Dreidoppel Vanilla Moroni Paste and blend thoroughly. Next, add Dreidoppel Creme de Menthe to taste, and finally stir in green food coloring until you achieve your desired shade.
Assembly
