These whoopie pies are soft, fluffy, and perfectly sweet, making them an irresistible treat for any occasion. The combination of chocolate and coconut flavors adds a delightful twist that you will love!

Ingredients

• For the cakes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (you can also use almond milk)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

• For the filling:

  • 1/2 cup coconut cream (chilled)
  • 1/4 cup powdered coconut sugar (or a sugar substitute of your choice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and coconut sugar until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the coconut milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix!
5. Drop tablespoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops spring back when gently pressed. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
7. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the chilled coconut cream, powdered coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whip until smooth and creamy.
8. Once the cakes are cool, spread a generous amount of the filling on the flat side of one cake and top it with another, creating a sandwich.
9. Repeat until all cakes are filled.

Enjoy your Classic Chocolate Whoopie Pies, my dear!
