Chocolate pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Yield: 15 mini cakes

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

170 grams of flour
40 grams of cocoa
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients:

200 grams of sugar
120 ml of oil
210 grams of baked pumpkin puree
Vanilla extract
1 large egg, room temperature

Filling:

200 grams of cream cheese
200 grams of heavy cream
50 grams of powdered sugar
optional - cinnamon and tonka bean for flavoring
120 grams of crushed caramelized nuts (you can replace them with any other toasted crushed nuts or sweet dry cereal flakes, crushed as well. The crunchiness gives these whoopie pies a special texture).

Instructions

Preparation is as easy as can be:

Combine the dry ingredients. Mix the oil with sugar, egg, and baked pumpkin puree. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ones. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto parchment paper on a baking sheet at 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake for 9 minutes.

Once the cookies have cooled, assemble them into pies using the filling.

For the filling - just whip together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and cream.

You can dip the edges in nuts. And trust me, they are very delicious!
