Whoopie pies have endless possibilities in my mind, and this tiramisu version might be one of my favorites. The filling is a mascarpone and coffee whipped cream, giving it all of the flavors you’d normally find in a tiramisu and also that silky, whipped texture that makes it so decadent. Instead of being dusted in cocoa powder, the cakes remain chocolate like a standard whoopie pie typically has. I like that the filling isn’t quite as sweet as a Marshmallow Fluff-filled whoopie pie would be, while the coffee and chocolate combo makes them rich and still very decadent. These treats are great for cold-weather gatherings, but no one will complain about them in the heat of the summer either.
The whoopie pie cakes can be made 1 day ahead. Once cooled, store in an airtight container and fill the next day. Once filled, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.

Directions
Cakes
- Step 1Preheat oven to 350°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment and grease with cooking spray.

Add dry ingredients and beat on medium-low speed until only a few dry streaks remain. Add milk and coffee and beat until just combined.
