Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box Yellow Cake Mix
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ cup Vegetable Oil
  • ½ cup Granulated Sugar (divided)
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 4 Egg Yolks
  • 6 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 4 ounces Semi-Sweet Chocolate
  • ½ cup Heavy Whipping Cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the Boston cream pie cookies.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients for these Boston cream pie cookies are well incorporated.
  3. Divide the dough into 20 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each ball for these homemade Boston cream pie cookies.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes until the edges are set and lightly golden. Once baked, allow the Boston cream pie cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. To prepare the custard, in a saucepan, bring 2 cups of milk and ¼ cup of the granulated sugar to a gentle boil over medium heat. Monitor closely to avoid scorching.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, remaining sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually mix in the hot milk, then return the mixture to the heat and whisk continuously until thickened to create the Boston cream pie cookie filling. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  7. To make the ganache, bring the heavy whipping cream to a boil in another saucepan. Pour it over the chopped semi-sweet chocolate and stir until the mixture is silky and smooth, creating a luscious chocolate ganache for your Boston cream pie cookies.
  8. Assemble the Boston cream pie cookies: generously spread the cooled custard on top of each cookie. Then, dip the tops into the chocolate ganache, allowing any excess to drip off. Let them sit until the ganache is set.
  9. For a stunning finish on your Boston cream pie cookies, you can optionally drizzle extra ganache over the top.

Notes

  • Allow Boston cream pie cookies to cool completely before adding custard to prevent melting and ensure a perfect bite every time.
  • If using instant pudding for the Boston cream pie cookie filling, adjust milk to 1 ¾ cups for a thicker custard.
  • Keep an eye on the baking time; overbaking can lead to dry Boston cream pie cookies. Aim for a soft, cake-like texture.
  • To maintain freshness, store Boston cream pie cookies in a single layer in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Customize the ganache for your Boston cream pie cookies by experimenting with different types of chocolate, such as dark, milk, or white chocolate.
