Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes Recipe:
(Recipe from Heck Fridays)
24 cake-mix yellow cupcakes, cooled and unwrapped (I used a butter golden mix)
1 (3.4 oz) box Vanilla instant pudding
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
Make cupcakes according to directions on box. I highly recommend using this pan if you don’t already have a favorite!
Mix together pudding, cream, powdered sugar, milk, and sour cream. Beat on medium speed until stuff peaks form. Cut each cupcake in half and add a dollop of filling. Put top back on cupcake and frost with ganache.
Ganache:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
1tsp. Vanilla extract (optional)
Heat cream in sauce pan until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat, pour over chocolate in a mixing bowl. Stir to mix together. Let cool slightly.
Keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Adding other flavors to the ganache is a great idea too such as espresso, orange liqueur, etc.
