WHOOPIE PIES WITH 7 MINUTE FROSTING



Whoopie Pies With 7 Minute Frosting image

Great served for the Fourth of July for a true American treat! A whoopie pie, sometimes alternatively called a gob or a black-and-whitie, is a baked good traditional to the Pennsylvania Dutch culture as well as New England, made of two small, chocolate, disk-shaped cakes with a sweet, creamy frosting sandwiched between them. I came up with this recipe when my sister didn't want these because of the trans fats and corn syrup in the typical recipe. Here you have them! Not totally guilt-free but the Fourth of July come but once a year!

SEVEN-MINUTE FROSTING



Seven-Minute Frosting image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk the egg whites, sugar, water, corn syrup, vanilla, cream of tartar and salt in a large heatproof glass bowl. Set the bowl on top of the pan (do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water). Beat with a hand mixer on low speed until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. (If any sugar crystals form on the side of the bowl, brush them down with a wet pastry brush.) Increase the speed to medium high and beat until stiff glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes.
  • Remove the bowl from the pan and beat until the frosting cools slightly, about 30 seconds. Use while still slightly warm -- the frosting will firm up and form a hard shell when it cools. Do not refrigerate the frosted cake or the frosting may weep.

PERFECT SEVEN-MINUTE FROSTING

This cake frosting is named for the length of time it must be beaten in the final stage.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 3

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
3 large egg whites, room temperature

Steps:

  • In a small, heavy-bottom saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar, corn syrup, and 4 tablespoons water. Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved, about 4 minutes. Rub a bit of the mixture between your fingers, making sure any graininess has disappeared. Raise heat, and bring to a boil without stirring. Continue boiling, occasionally washing down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water to prevent sugar from crystallizing, until a candy thermometer registers 230 degrees, about 5 minutes. (Depending on the humidity, this can take anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes.) Remove the syrup from heat (temperature will keep rising).
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 1/2 minutes. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. With mixer on medium-low speed, pour syrup in a steady stream down side of bowl (to avoid splattering).
  • Beat the frosting on high speed until cool, about seven minutes. It should be thick and shiny. Use immediately.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces before adding it to the flour mixture. This will help create a flaky crust.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
  • Bake the crust until it is golden brown. This will help prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a good quality chocolate for the filling. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the pie.
  • Make sure the sugar and cornstarch are dissolved in the milk before adding it to the chocolate. This will help prevent the filling from curdling.
  • Cook the filling until it is thick and bubbly. This will help ensure that it sets properly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

This classic chocolate pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, rich chocolate filling, and fluffy seven-minute frosting, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this chocolate pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
