5min

Christmas in the Philippines always feels surreal. Parol lights glow from windows and street corners, while karaoke classics echo from the neighbor’s house. What truly sets the mood is the smell of something sweet wafting from the kitchen. There are the favorites, of course: spaghetti, glazed ham, fruit salad, leche flan—all the family staples that never miss a year. But sometimes, there’s space on the table for something truly memorable.

A New Holiday Favorite in The Making: Red Velvet Whoopie Pie

Red Velvet Whoopie Pies started out as a seasonal offering from a popular café. As the years go, it has slowly become a holiday staple that feels right at home. Soft, cocoa-kissed, and brightly red cake-like rounds are sandwiched with a smooth cream cheese filling made even more indulgent with Nestlé® All-Purpose Cream! So if you want to create fun and lasting memories with your fam, then let’s whip up this easy dessert!

What makes it perfect for the holidays?

They may be new to the Noche Buena table, but Red Velvet Whoopie Pies have a way of standing out. With their bright red color and creamy filling, they bring a festive pop that’s impossible to ignore. Each one is soft, just a little bit chocolatey, and filled with a smooth cream cheese frosting made even more indulgent with Nestlé® All-Purpose Cream. They’re easy to enjoy. No slicing, no plating—and they pair effortlessly with the usual holiday spread, whether it’s beside a slice of ham, a scoop of fruit salad, or eaten on its own as a quick, sweet bite in between your holiday chikahan and white elephant.

They’re also versatile. These Whoopie Pies can be more than just dessert. They double as a thoughtful homemade gift for visiting relatives or a quick treat to bring to your next potluck or exchange gift. Because they’re easy to bake in batches and simple to wrap, they’re perfect for those last-minute holiday moments when you want to bring something homemade but not too complicated. And if you’ve got kids or younger cousins around, assembling the pies together can turn into a fun bonding activity during the Christmas break.

Create Memories When Making It!

Making a Red Velvet Whoopie Pie can be as memorable as eating one!

Start by getting your oven nice and warm. Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). While it’s heating up, sift together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a bit of salt. In another bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture looks smooth and a little fluffy. Next is the fun part, mix in the egg, ¾ cup of Nestlé® All Purpose Cream, vanilla, and that festive red food coloring. Once everything’s mixed together, slowly add your dry ingredients. Make sure you don’t overmix, just until it all comes together. Then let the batter rest for a few minutes while you prepare the filling.

While the batter settles, make the filling: a rich, velvety blend of cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and ¼ cup of Nestlé® All Purpose Cream. It's the kind of filling you’ll want to sneak a spoonful of, but save enough for the sandwiches!

Scoop 1–2 tablespoons of batter onto a lined baking tray, spacing them well apart. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cakes spring back when lightly touched. Once they’re fully cooled, spread the filling on one half, sandwich with the other, and finish with a dusting of powdered sugar.

It’s easy, festive, and made to share.
