Ingredients
- 1 box Devil’s Food chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix (4 servings)
- 2 tubs vanilla ice cream (16 oz each)
- Orange gel food coloring
- Edible black glitter or sprinkles
- Powdered sugar (optional)
- Black licorice (for decoration)
- Candy eyes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, eggs, and pudding mix. Beat until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Spoon 18 evenly-sized dollops of batter onto parchment- or Silpat-lined baking sheets. Form them into circular shapes.
- Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of the cakes. They should spring back when lightly touched.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, mix vanilla ice cream with orange gel coloring until evenly tinted.
- Pipe the orange cream onto the flat side of one cake and sandwich it with another cake.
- Decorate the assembled whoopie pies with black sprinkles, candy eyes, licorice strips, or powdered sugar as desired.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring to avoid altering the texture or taste of the filling.
- Ensure cakes are completely cooled before assembling to prevent melting.
- Store assembled whoopie pies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- For a firmer filling, let the ice cream soften slightly before coloring and piping.
