Chocolate Whoopies Pies Sandwich + Pumpkin Ice Cream

Looking for something different to serve this Fall? A great idea is to make Pumpkin Ice cream Sandwiches. They are a hit with both kids and adults. They are made with two soft and moist Chocolate Whoopie Pies sandwiched together with pumpkin ice cream. Lovely to look at and even more lovely to eat. I have cheated a little by using commercial ice cream, but there is no denying that Edy's makes an excellent Pumpkin Ice Cream. These Pumpkin Ice Cream Sandwiches can be made ahead of time. Just wrap each individual pumpkin ice cream sandwich in wax paper, and store them in the freezer until needed.

The Pumpkin Ice Cream Sandwiches start with two round, domed shaped chocolate Whoopie Pies that are soft and moist with a cake-like texture that is perfect for making ice cream sandwiches. They are often described as a Devil's Food Cake in cookie form. Their dark chocolate color and flavor comes from using Dutch-processed cocoa powder and the addition of buttermilk helps to contribute to their moist texture. The other liquid in these cookies is coffee, but you can replace it with water.

If you are not familiar with Dutch-Processed or Alkalized Unsweetened Cocoa Powder it is cocoa that has been treated with an alkali to neutralize its acids. Because it is neutral and does not react with baking soda, it must be used in recipes calling for baking powder, unless there are other acidic ingredients in sufficient quantities used. It has a reddish-brown color, mild flavor, and is easy to dissolve in liquids. Its delicate flavor makes it ideal in baked goods like European cakes and pastries where its subtle flavor complements other ingredients. Droste, Lindt, Valrhona, Poulain and Pernigotti are some popular brands.
