Red, White & Blue Whoopie Pies - perfect for Memorial Day and 4th of July!Hi! It’s Nikole, dessert contributor and busy mother of 4. I love to bake. The easier the better. I even sometimes have a young sidekick in the kitchen with me, eager to help.

Easy & Delicious Red, White & Blue Whoopie Pies - perfect for Memorial Day and 4th of July!

These Red, White and Blue Whoopie Pies are a treat enjoyed by all. We are usually camping for Memorial Day and 4th of July, but that doesn’t stop me from baking! It may take me longer due to a very small oven, but I still manage to pull it off. I enjoy making festive desserts for my family.  I made these Whoopie Pies for a big group last year, so I made most of them small, though I did make  some bigger ones for the grown ups. 😉

Red White and Blue Whoopie Pies

Author: Nikole Brock

Ingredients

  • Red Velvet Cake Box Mix
  • Blue Velvet Cake Box Mix
  • 4 eggs
  • 12 tbs Butter

VANILLA FROSTING (make 2 batches)

  • 4 cups confection sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter or shortening
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Spray cookie sheets with non stick spray

RED VELVET CAKE

  • Add 2 eggs to a bowl
  • Add 6tbs of melted butter
  • Add Red Velvet Mix
  • Stir with fork until all mixed

BLUE VELVET CAKE

  • Add 2 eggs to a bowl
  • Add 6tbs of melted butter
  • Add Blue Velvet Mix
  • Stir with fork until all mixed
  • Note: Blue Velvet batter will be more crumbly and thick and Red Velvet is a thick liquid batter.
  • For smaller whoopie pies: make 1 inch balls/dollops (make the Blue Velvet a tiny bit bigger than red). Keep all blue pies on one tray and all red on another.
  • Place in oven and bake until cooked, approximately 8 minutes - you'll know they are down when the tops start to turn brown
  • NOTE: You may need to flatten red ones gently with a spatula.
  • To make bigger whoopie pies make the balls/dollops bigger and bake longer.
  • Cool on wire racks.

VANILLA FROSTING

  • Add confection sugar and butter to a large bowl
  • Beat really well with power mixer
  • Add in vanilla, continuing to beat
  • Add tablespoon of milk while beating, add small drops until you reach your desired thickness

FILLING WHOOPIE PIES

  • When whoopie pies are cooled, fill with vanilla frosting. Or for a cooling treat fill with vanilla ice cream (let ice cream sit out for a few minutes to soften a little)!
  • To fill, first match them up - find a red that matches a blue in size
  • Put a big dollop of frosting or ice cream on flat side and gently press the flat side of other pie to create the red/white/blue whoopie pie!

Notes

Enjoy!
