Traditional whoopie pies are filled with frosting, not ice cream, but the texture of the soft cookie/cake against the richness of the ice cream and the crunch of the pecans is delicious. This is a great dessert for gatherings with family and friends because the pies are individual and because it is a simple dessert (that can double as a snack.) Whoopie pies represent some good old American fun! It’s great with any kind of ice cream.
