Chocolate arequipe whoopie pies
Soft chocolate cake-like cookies sandwiched with a lightly salted arequipe cream.
Ingredients
- 115 g unsalted butter
- 170 g dark chocolate, chopped
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 80 g light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 95 g all-purpose flour
- 25 g cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 180 g arequipe
Method
- Heat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Line a 20 cm square pan with parchment.
- Melt the butter and chocolate together, then cool for 5 minutes.
- Whisk in both sugars, eggs and vanilla until glossy. Fold in flour, cocoa and salt.
- Spread into the pan. Spoon arequipe over the batter and drag a knife through it to make broad swirls.
- Bake 25–30 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still looks slightly soft. Cool completely before slicing.
Arequipe noteWarm the arequipe for 10–15 seconds if it is too firm to swirl.
