Whoopie Pie Wednesday: Chocolate Covered Strawberry

Every time I think I cannot like a new flavor more than the previous, I am surprised. I really liked the strawberry cream in the middle against the dark chocolate of the cookie. A perfect valentine treat.

Ingredients

1 box dark chocolate cake mix

2 eggs

1/3 cup oil

1/4 cup coffee creamer

filling

1 packet strawberry cream pudding

4-6 oz cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tbsp heavy whipping cream

Preheat oven to 350'

Mix together dry cake mix, oil, eggs and creamer

I normally use a round TBSP to place on cookie sheet, but you can also use a round TSP to make them bite size and get more out of it. Bake 8-9 minutes

For the filling

Cream softened cream cheese on low for 1 minute to get fluffy, add the pudding packet and 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream, beat until fully incorporated and slowly add the  whipping cream and beat until peaks begin to form. or for alternate version, prepare the pudding w/1 cup cold milk and bourbon, mix w/cool whip. Place in fridge for hour to let either version set up. 

Place a large dollop on one cookie and press another on top to spread the filling out.

Make these as quickly as possible!
