Description
A delightful handheld version of the classic Boston Cream Pie, featuring a soft vanilla sponge, a creamy pudding center, and rich chocolate ganache.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1 cup vanilla pudding
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add eggs one at a time and mix in vanilla.
Step 4: Add the dry ingredients and milk alternately, mixing gently until just combined.
Step 5: Divide batter into liners and bake 18–20 minutes, then cool completely.
Step 6: Cut a small center from each cupcake and fill with vanilla pudding.
Step 7: Heat heavy cream until just simmering, pour over chocolate chips, wait 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Step 8: Spoon ganache over cupcakes and let it set before serving.
Notes
Ensure cupcakes are completely cool before adding the pudding to prevent the center from becoming mushy.
