Storing Whoopie Pies
So this cheeseburger dessert needs to be stored in an airtight container. You can wrap each with plastic wrap to keep them extra moist and fresh.
These will also freeze if the whoopie pies. For that, I do recommend individually wrapping and then place in an airtight container or sealable bag. The pies will freeze for 3-4 months. Then thaw on the counter for an hour and enjoy.
Helpful Tips
- Don’t overcook the cake or it will become dry. The cakes are done when you stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean of wet batter.
- You can use other flavors of frosting if you want, I found chocolate worked great for a burger look.
- If you want get creative with toppings used in the dessert burger. I found frosting was the easiest but you can use candies as well.
- These can be stored in the fridge or room temperature. I find room temperature is best as it keeps the cereal crunchy for longer.

Dessert Burger Whoopie Pies FAQs
Whoopie pies are a cake style dessert. The part of the sandwich dessert is a cake that is baked.
I find the yellow cake mix offers the perfect color of hamburger buns. But, you are welcome to use other flavors of cake mix if you choose.
Go right ahead and use any homemade cake mix you would like. I just found the box cake mix would be quicker and easier to do than taking the time to make homemade.
So if you want go right ahead and double the recipe. Just make a double batch and cook in batches in the oven. Then just whip up extra frosting as well for all the whoopie pies.
