Chocolate Raspberry Whoopie Pies

These Chocolate Raspberry Whoopie Pies are the perfect way to get you in the mood for Valentine’s Day. These whoopie pies have a delicious, pink, sweet, and sour filling from the beaten white chocolate raspberry ganache. They are sandwiched between two moist chocolatey heart-shaped cookies and decorated with a drizzle of melted semisweet chocolate and freeze dried raspberries. They are super fun to make and right on time for Valentine’s Day.

How to prepare the Chocolate Raspberry Whoopie Pies

First, you have to make the raspberry white chocolate ganache. It needs to sit in the fridge for 6-10 hours. You can even make it a day ahead. 

You start by making the raspberry jam. In a small saucepan, bring to a boil the raspberries with sugar. After it boiled, add the cornstarch dissolved in cold water. Stir for one more minute on low heat, then allow to cool. Now you can make the ganache. Heat the whipping cream and raspberry puree until hot but don’t boil. Pour over the white chocolate and the pink food coloring. You can leave the food coloring out if you dislike using it. But bear in mind that the raspberry puree will not make the ganache pink. It will become a bit grey after you add the white chocolate. Stir well, then cover it with foil and refrigerate. After you take it out from the fridge, beat it lightly with a hand mixer until it becomes fluffy.

If you don’t have raspberries, feel free to use different types of berries, like strawberries, blueberries, or cherries.

How to make the cookies.

The cookies are really easy to make. Melt the chocolate with the oil over a bain-marie. Mix the egg, sugar and buttermilk then pour over the mixture of the melted chocolate. Mix all the dry ingredients, then add them to the batter alternating them with the hot coffee. Pipe the batter in V shapes so you will get cute heart cookies. The hearts should be around 3-4 inches (8-9 cm) in diameter. Bake for about 10 minutes. 

Match the cookies up by size. Apply the cooled raspberry jam over the cookies with a silicon brush in a thin layer. After the ganache is all set and fluffy you can pipe it on half of the cookies. Then pair up and you get some lovely sandwiches. For the garnish, drizzle the hearts with melted semisweet chocolate. If you can’t find freeze dried raspberries, use whatever red sprinkles you like instead.
