Experience a contemporary twist on traditional Christmas gingerbread with our decadent whoopie pies.
Ingredients:
  • 125g butter, softened
  • 90.00 gm dark brown sugar
  • 166.25 gm treacle
  • 1 egg
  • 625.00 ml plain flour
  • 2.50 gm bicarbonate of soda
  • 10.00 gm ground ginger
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 390.00 gm buttermilk
  • 82.50 ml sprinkles (red, green and white - see note)
  • 252.50 gm thickened cream
  • 75.00 gm icing sugar mixture
  • 1 tsp finely grated orange rind
  • 150g mascarpone
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced and line 4 baking trays with baking paper. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, and treacle until light and fluffy. Then, add the egg and beat until combined (don't worry if it looks a bit curdled).
  • Sift half of the dry ingredients over the butter mixture and stir to combine. Pour in half of the buttermilk and mix well. Add the remaining dry ingredients and buttermilk, then stir until fully combined.
  • Transfer mixture into a large snap-lock bag and cut off a 1.5cm corner. Squeeze out 3cm rounds onto baking trays, spacing them 4cm apart. Bake one tray at a time for 7 minutes or until cakes bounce back when touched. Let them rest on the tray for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool.
  • Prepare the Orange mascarpone filling: In a small bowl, use an electric mixer to whip cream, icing sugar, and orange rind until soft peaks form. Then, gently fold in mascarpone until the mixture reaches just-firm peaks.
  • Transfer the filling into a large snap-lock bag and cut off a corner. Squeeze a small amount of the mixture onto the flat side of half the cakes. Place the remaining cakes on top and gently press to create sandwiches. Put sprinkles in a dish and roll the edges of each whoopie pie in the sprinkles to lightly coat the filling. Serve and enjoy!
