A fun and tasty Valentine's Day idea:make this delicious Valentine's Day recipe red velvet whoopie hearts and enjoy this dessert together with your loved one. The whoopies are made from the popular red velvet dough. The red color is perfect for Valentine's Day and the taste is delicious.
You can hardly avoid it with all the promotion in the shops and on the internet. Every year on February 14, the day of love, Valentine's Day is celebrated. If you want to make a statement with an original gift, you can rather ignore the shops. Think out of the box and make a love letter that you send (give) in a homemade bottle mail. And if you are not that handy:at Hema you can also score this bottle 😉
If you prefer to buy a gift, you can of course also package it nicely. After all, the eye also wants something. How about this nice heart box with space for a gift and a key as a symbol that you give him/her the key to your heart?
Still not quite to your liking? Love goes through the stomach and that certainly applies to men. So why not make something delicious for Valentine's Day? With the recipe below you can make delicious red velvet whoopie hearts and you can be sure that your loved one will be satisfied.
Well, how can you best describe whoopies? Whoopies are not a cake, nor are they cookies. They are actually small pastries with a delicious cream filling that originated in America. Normally only round shapes should be referred to as whoopies, but it's hard to arrive for Valentine's Day with a trite round shape. That's why I took the liberty of modifying the shape as I saw fit.

Place the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in the bowl and mix the dry ingredients together.
In the other bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.
Then add the egg and vanilla extract and make sure that the sides are also scraped regularly, so that it becomes an even batter and all ingredients are mixed evenly
Now 1/3 of the dry ingredients is added and stirred
Take half of the buttermilk and stir it well into the batter
Repeat steps 4 and 5
Finally, add the remaining dry ingredients and the food coloring
NOTE:the batter should not be mixed too much
Draw hearts on the baking paper. Keep in mind that the dough will spread out a bit, so make sure there is sufficient distance between them. You will probably have to make two baking trays. The hearts should be visible on the back as you turn the parchment paper over so you don't get pencil-edged whoopies.
Not interested in this? I've used small heart-shaped baking pans and made it easy on myself
Fill the batter into the piping bag and pipe it into the heart shape on the baking paper (not exactly on the edge, but leave some space so that the cookies can expand
Preheat the oven to 190°C and then bake the whoopies until tender (about 10 minutes)
Let cool completely before removing the whoopies from the baking paper
Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese filling
Beat the cream cheese and butter until creamy
Add the vanilla extract and mix well
Add the icing sugar little by little, while you keep mixing and the icing sugar is fully incorporated
Spread a generous layer of filling on one cookie and cover with another cookie. If desired, you can decorate the top with sugar mice.
What do you give your loved one for Valentine's Day? Do you also dive into the kitchen to make something delicious or do you stick to an inedible present? I'm still not sure whether I'll make this Valentine's Day recipe red velvet whoopie hearts again or come up with something else.
