Red Velvet Whoopie Pies

I mixed a box of the red velvet cake mix with 2 eggs, 1/4 Cup heavy cream and 1/4 Cup mascarpone cheese.

It was brown, not red… I had to double check the box to make sure I grabbed the right one. Once I added all the stuff it turned colors… It was so thick and sticky. I dusted some flour on my hands and formed balls. I then flattened them a little until they were more like discs. I baked these red wonders for about 12 minutes at 325 degrees F on a greased cookie sheet.

While they were baking, I started in on the icing. I might have helped myself to some…

The icing consisted of 1 package of cream cheese (8 ounces), 1/2 Cup butter, 1 Tablespoon of vanilla, and about half a box (or bag) of powdered sugar. I used a mixer to combine everything except the sugar. I added the sugar slowly until it was a smooth creamy texture.

I pulled the un-iced pies out of the oven and let them cool completely before slathering on the cream cheese icing and then sandwiching them to form the pie.

Enjoy!
