Description
Soft, buttery cookies layered with creamy vanilla custard and topped with rich chocolate ganache, inspired by the classic Boston Cream Pie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup (120ml) milk
- 2 tbsp (15g) flour (for custard)
- 2 tbsp (25g) sugar (for custard)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for custard)
- ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream 1 cup of softened butter with 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, mixing well. Stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour and 1 tsp of baking powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden. Cool completely on a rack.
- In a saucepan, whisk together ½ cup of milk, 2 tbsp of flour, and 2 tbsp of sugar over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Cool before using.
- Heat ½ cup of heavy cream until steaming. Pour over 1 cup of chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Spread a dollop of custard onto the flat side of a cooled cookie. Top with another cookie to make a sandwich. Spoon or drizzle ganache over the top.
- Let the ganache set for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Notes
Don’t overmix the cookie dough to avoid tough cookies. If the custard looks lumpy, whisk vigorously while warm. Let the ganache sit in hot cream before stirring for a smooth texture.
