Hi I've made these before, what I did instead of using the Veg shortening, I used coconut oil - its beats up light and fluffy and works just fine. I hate to break it to most people, but commercial frosting is made with veg shortening, so if you buy frosting at the supermarket - nine times out of ten you are consuming veg shortening.

Use the "Fluffy Icing" recipe, there is no fat and the taste is light and delish. In a small saucepan heat 1cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water-cook till syrupy {about 5 min} In a mixing bowl add 1 egg white and beat till fluffy. Slowly add syrup and continue beating till stiff and add 1 tsp vanilla.

my solution was simple...I just made a simple frosting (vanilla), put a 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint in it, and placed the whole works in a large gallon bag, worked the peppermint through by hand in the bag, cut the end off, and squeezed the frosting onto the whoopee pie...worked fine.

I only have 1 problem wit making these pies. For the world of me,I just can't see making and eating let alone serving anyone with that much Veg. Shortening in a recipe that's not cooked..Is there any kind of substitute you could use for the filling for this recipe? Help please..
