Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
2 eggs
100g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1/2 cup buttermilk
120g
2 passion fruits
80g
1 tbsp lemon juice
16g
1 tsp corn flour
5g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
3. Add Lemon Zest and Eggs: Mix in the lemon zest until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda.
5. Alternate Dry Ingredients and Buttermilk: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Prepare Batter for Baking: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Allow the whoopie pies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare Passionfruit Filling: While the whoopie pies are cooling, cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp into a small saucepan. Add the lemon juice and corn flour, stirring to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
9. Make the Icing: In a medium bowl, add the cooled passionfruit mixture and gradually whisk in the powdered sugar until a smooth, spreadable consistency is achieved.
10. Assemble Whoopie Pies: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the passionfruit filling on the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie, flat side down, to make a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
11. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your freshly made passionfruit lemon whoopie pies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips:

- Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with the sugar.

- Sift the flour and baking soda together to avoid any lumps in the batter.

- Gently fold in the dry ingredients to avoid over-mixing, which can make the whoopie pies tough.

- When scooping out the batter, try to keep the sizes consistent for even baking.

- Allow the whoopie pies to cool completely before filling them to prevent the filling from melting.

- For an extra kick of lemon flavor, consider adding a little more lemon zest to the filling.

- Store the whoopie pies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to three days.

Passionfruit lemon whoopie pies offer a unique and refreshing flavor profile that is bound to become a favorite. The tartness of the lemons paired with the vibrant tropical notes of passionfruit creates a delightful dessert that is both satisfying and unique. Enjoy these pies fresh or store them for a few days to allow the flavors to meld even more. Happy baking!
