A Boston Favorite

This past week, I headed north for a visit home to Boston and a quick weekend trip to NYC.  And what better pie to make in Boston than a Boston Cream Pie.  I saved this recipe, and after a weekend in NYC, we headed back to Boston and on a VERY HOT Monday night, whipped this pie cake up!  And while this was by far the most intensive recipe I've used in this pie baking journey, the end result was well worth the hours in the kitchen.

Fun Fact:  Boston Cream Pie was probably called a pie because in the mid-nineteenth century, pie tins were more common than cake pans. The first versions of Boston Cream Pie were likely baked in these pie tins.  









bon appétit,
Kelsey
