HEALTHY MAKEOVER: Whoopie Pies

WHOOPIE PIES are the best! It is a cream filled chocolatey sandwich cookie. It is a cake-like chocolate sandwich. We have our version of this here, but instead of using cakey chocolate sandwich, they use crispy cookies and ice cream as their filling. it's a yummy dessert but it's really fatty! The combination of cream, cake and cookie is FAT. Here's a way to enjoy this pie guilt-free!




HEALTHY MAKEOVER:




  • Use HEALTHY CANOLA OIL instead of vegetable shortening for the cookie.
  • Use NON-FAT MILK instead of WHOLE MILK in the cookie.
  • Use NON-FAT YOGHURT and WHIPPED CREAM THICKENED BY GELATIN instead of using whipped cream or marshmallow fluff.
  • Make a whoopie pie with a SMALLER PORTION SIZE compared to the usual which is as big as a salad plate.
