Description

Let’s talk about Boston Cream, but with a twist that’ll save you time without compromising on taste. 


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

For the Custard Filling:

  • 1 (5.1 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly combined.
    • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  • Make the Custard Filling:
    • In a large bowl, whisk the pudding mix and cold milk until thickened (about 2–3 minutes).
    • Gently fold in the whipped cream until smooth and fluffy. Spread the custard mixture over the cooled crust. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the Ganache:
    • Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  • Assemble the Bars:
    • Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled custard layer, spreading evenly. Return to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.
  • Serve:
    • Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy, chocolatey layers!
