Alright. Let's get ready to assemble the black forest whoopee pies.
So I've got some baked whoopee pies. I've got some chopped up dried cherries. I got
a little bit more of the old' de ve the cherry flavored liquor and I've got some cream cheese
cherry filling. First thing I want to do is I'm going to loosen these whoopee pies from
the pan and I'm going to turn half of them over. And those are going to be the ones that
I fill.
And I' also going to take a little bit more of the cherry liquor and I'm just going to
brush on just half of these. If you really want a strong cherry flavor you can do on
the top and the bottom. I like it a little bit subtle and there's a lot of alcohol in
these so you know take it easy. Don't eat whoopee pies and drive. Alright, so I've got
a little bit of the old' de ve on there. Now I'm going to use a pastry bag. But I don't
have a tip in. I'm just going to cut a little bit off the end of it. It's just to kind of
make it easier. You can definitely use again a zip lock bag with a hole in or you could
do just a little spatula and sort of spread a small amount on each whoopee pie.
But I like a pastry bag, it's something I'm comfortable with and it just makes the whole
process go pretty quickly. Alright. So by putting the cherry flavor in the filling as
well as in brushed on the whoopee pie you're going to get a nice cherry note to these.
Which is again that's the key to the black forest cake. It's the key to these black forest
whoopee pies to get that cherry flavor going. These dried cherries are actually really great.
They're very juicy if you have some that are not quite as juicy, you can certainly plump
them up. You can take a little bit of the old' de ve cherry liquor and sort of just
soak them in that for a little bit. You can heat it up and soak it. You can use orange
juice if you don't want to use old' de ve. You could use cherry juice if you want to
reconstitute them a little bit. But I would just put a little on each whoopee pie. It's
just another little hint of cherry and it will also be attractive on the finished product.
Which there so juicy they’re sticking together a little bit.
Alright. So that's about the last thing I need to do before I put the tops on here.
Those are looking really good. Okay, black forest whoopee pies. Chocolate whoopee pie
with a cherry old' de ve filling and dried cherries. Awesome.
