How to Make Chocolate Coffee Tiramisu Whoopie Pies

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 2 1/4 cups (270 g) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed), plus more for dusting
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup (215 g) packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup freshly brewed coffee, warm
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup (55 g) confectioners’ sugar
• 1 Tbsp instant coffee
• 6 oz mascarpone, cold

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly grease them with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda.
3. In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium-high speed to beat the light brown sugar, vegetable oil, and softened butter until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until you have a thick batter with a few dry streaks remaining.
5. Pour in the milk and warm coffee, then mix until just combined.
6. Using a medium ice cream scoop, place rounded scoops of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
7. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the edges are firm and the centers remain slightly soft. Let them cool completely on the sheets.
8. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and instant coffee until soft peaks form. Then gently mix in the mascarpone cheese, beating until stiff peaks form.
9. Flip half of the cooled cake discs over so the flat sides are facing up. Spoon a generous amount of the mascarpone filling onto each flat disc and top with another disc, pressing gently to spread the filling to the edges.
10. Dust the tops with additional cocoa powder for finishing.

Tips to Make Chocolate Coffee Tiramisu Whoopie Pies

• Use high-quality cocoa powder and fresh coffee for the best flavor.
• Make sure your mascarpone is cold, as this helps create a thick filling.
• Don’t overmix the batter after adding in the milk, as it can make the cakes dense.
• For a fun twist, add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter.

Variation

You can switch up the flavors by using flavored coffee or incorporating hazelnut or almond extract into the filling. Alternatively, try an orange zest in the batter for a refreshing citrus note.

FAQs

Yes, you can use decaf coffee to make these whoopie pies if you want to reduce caffeine intake.
