Description

Soft, cakey chocolate whoopie pies with a classic marshmallow fluff filling, cooked in the air fryer at 320°F in just 5 minutes. An easy, kid-approved dessert!

Ingredients 

Chocolate Whoopie Pies:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups milk

Classic Marshmallow Filling:

  • 1 cup vegetable shortening
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups Marshmallow Fluff
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.
  • Mix in the butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until fully combined.
  • Spray the whoopie pie pan cavities with cooking spray and fill each two-thirds full with batter.
  • Place the pan in the air fryer and cook at 320°F for 5 minutes, until the tops spring back when touched. Work in batches if needed.
  • Remove the cakes from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Beat the shortening, powdered sugar, Marshmallow Fluff, and salt until smooth and fluffy.
  • Spread the filling on the flat side of half the cakes and sandwich with the remaining cakes.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Whoopie pie pan (or silicone muffin-top pan)
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer (for the filling)
  • Wire cooling rack
  • Cookie scoop or spoon (for portioning batter)
  • Cooking Spray

Notes

  • Air fryers vary; check basket-style models at 4 minutes.
  • No whoopie pie pan? A silicone muffin-top pan works in the air fryer.
  • Cool cakes completely before filling or the marshmallow filling will melt.
  • Store in the refrigerator up to 3 days; freeze unfilled cakes up to 2 months.
