One of the desserts that my mother-in-law June, my wife Laura and my Daughter Kristin really enjoy is a version of Boston Cream Pie. I use the word ‘version’ because it is really a cake and not a ‘pie’… it should be Boston Cream Cake.
In any event, Kristin enjoyed Boston Cream pie whenever it was served while she was at the United States Military Academy at West Point. I had actually been one of the few toured around their kitchens …. and with Kristin’s description I thought I could put it together… just a bit more expensively.
I made it a bit differently starting with a white chocolate cake with Amarula. The custard filling resembles the wonderful French custard fillings found in such places as Del Monico’s in the 19th century. No shortcuts and no substitutions!
enjoy!
