Boston cream cupcakes sandwiched with whipped coconut custard.William MeppemTime:1-2 hoursMakes:12-15
A Boston cream pie is a classic American cake (yes,not a pie at all) filled with custard and covered in chocolate glaze. I have made it here as little cupcakes filled with an easy and delicious coconut custard. The idea to use custard powder in the filling came originally from the need to ration my stash of eggs because of recent shortages of baking ingredients. I now prefer it to the original version with fresh eggs.
