Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes

Delicious vanilla cupcakes filled with creamy custard and topped with rich chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup prepared vanilla custard or pudding
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  4. Alternately add the flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  5. Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  6. Once cooled, use a small knife or cupcake corer to remove the center of each cupcake. Fill with vanilla custard.
  7. For the ganache, heat heavy cream until steaming. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  8. Spoon or pipe ganache over each cupcake, allowing it to drip slightly down the sides. Chill for 10 minutes to set.
