Cuisine: American
Serves: Filling for 12 whoopie pies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1/2 cup shortening, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the 1/2 cup of shortening. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the shortening until it becomes creamy and smooth.
- Gradually add the 1 cup of powdered sugar to the mixing bowl. Continue to mix on low speed to avoid a sugar cloud, then increase to medium speed until the mixture is well combined and fluffy.
- Next, add the 1/2 cup of marshmallow fluff to the bowl. Mix on medium speed until the fluff is fully incorporated into the filling, creating a light and airy texture.
- Finally, pour in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix for an additional 30 seconds to ensure the vanilla is evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Once the filling is well combined and has a smooth consistency, use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed thoroughly.
- Your Wilton Whoopie Pie Filling is now ready! Use it immediately to fill your whoopie pie cookies or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your shortening is at room temperature for the smoothest, most creamy consistency.
- Powdered Sugar Technique: Add powdered sugar gradually and mix on low speed initially to prevent a messy sugar cloud in your kitchen.
- Fluff Factor: When incorporating marshmallow fluff, mix thoroughly to create a light, airy texture that spreads beautifully.
- Vanilla Variation: For an extra flavor twist, try using clear vanilla extract to maintain a pristine white filling, or experiment with other extract flavors like almond or coconut.
- Storage Tip: If not using immediately, store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Let it come to room temperature and give it a quick re-whip before using for the best texture.
- Consistency Check: If the filling seems too thick, add a teaspoon of milk; if too thin, incorporate a bit more powdered sugar.
