Irresistible Boston Cream Pie Recipe Easy and Delicious

half and half

salt

all-purpose flour

unsalted butter (cold, cubed)

vanilla extract

baking powder

milk

unsalted butter

heavy whipping cream

corn syrup

chocolate (chopped)

In a medium size saucepan over medium heat, add half-and-half and heat until simmering.

In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth. Add flour and whisk until fully incorporated.

Remove half-and-half from heat and slowly add to the yolk mixture while whisking to temper. Return to saucepan and whisk constantly.

Cook over medium heat, whisking continuously until slightly thickened (about 1-2 minutes). Reduce heat and simmer for 8 minutes.

Increase heat to medium while whisking until mixture reaches a rolling boil (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat.

Whisk in cold butter and vanilla extract until melted and blended. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Pastry Cream

Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease two 9-inch cake pans and line with parchment paper.

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

Melt milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in vanilla extract and set aside.

Beat egg whites and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and airy (about 5 minutes). Stir in hot milk mixture.

Gently add dry ingredients to egg-white mixture, mixing until just blended. Divide batter into prepared pans.

Bake in preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, until lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool cakes in pans on a cooling rack for about 2 hours.

Cake

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy whipping cream and corn syrup; allow to simmer.

Add chopped bittersweet chocolate, let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

Place one cake layer on a cake platter. Whisk pastry cream gently and spread evenly on top.

Place the second cake layer on top and press lightly. Pour chocolate glaze over the top layer.

Serve and enjoy with loved ones!
