Indulge in these delightful Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes, a miniature version of the classic dessert. Moist vanilla cupcakes are filled with creamy pastry cream and topped with a rich chocolate ganache.


Ingredients

Scale

Cupcakes:

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole milk

Filling:

  • 1 cup pastry cream or vanilla pudding

Ganache Topping:

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture.
  6. Bake: Divide the batter among cupcake liners and bake for 18–20 minutes. Let cool.
  7. Fill cupcakes: Use a knife to remove the center of each cupcake and fill with pastry cream or pudding.
  8. Make ganache: Heat cream, pour over chocolate, and stir until smooth. Add corn syrup and vanilla.
  9. Top cupcakes: Spoon ganache over filled cupcakes and let set before serving.
