BOSTON CREAM PIE

Steps:

• For the filling: In a medium saucepan off-heat, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in the whole egg and the 3 yolks, and then stir in the milk. Turn the heat on to medium high and cook the mixture, uncovered, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you make the cake. Be sure to place the plastic wrap directly onto the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg and mix until completely combined. Sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Add the vanilla.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• For the topping: To make the chocolate ganache, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream to a boil, then immediately remove from the heat. Add the chocolate chips to the cream and stir until completely melted.
• To assemble, slice the cake layer in half horizontally. Spread the custard filling onto one layer, then top with the second layer of cake. Spread the ganache over the top of the cake using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Store covered in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

BOSTON CREAM WHISKEY BANANA PIE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• (Note: You can make the filling hours in advance of making the cake because the cream filling needs to chill in the refrig for several hours prior to using in the cake.) Cake: Prepare cake mix to instructions. Add ½ cup sour cream and ½ cup crème fraiche to batter. Whip batter with hand mixer until fluffy. Coat sides (and lightly on bottom) of three 9" cake pans with cooking spray. Line the cake pans with parchment paper (cutting circles to fit). Pour equal amounts of batter into each of the three. Bake in preheated 375 oven until done and golden brown. Remove and place on cooling rack. Filling: In a small bowl, place blended egg yolks and whisk in flour, sugar and vanilla. Set aside. In medium saucepan over medium it heat, pour milk and cream. Whisk consistently as you bring it to boil. Remove from heat. Slowly pour in, while constantly whisking, the egg mixture. Return to medium low heat and whisk about 3 minutes then add whiskey and continue to whisk consistently for another 9-12 minutes as the custard thickens. Remove, pour into a glass dish, and cover with plastic wrap (patting the wrap on the filling). Place in refrigerator for a few hours before using. Ganache: Make a double-boiler with a pot of water and a glass bowl over it. Over medium heat. Put chocolate chips in bowl and add heavy cream. Stir and blend as chips melt. (Add a little more cream if needed if ganache is too thick.) Consistency of ganache should be like a sauce. Steps for pie construction: On first layer of cake, spread half of the filling smoothing around to within ½ inch of the perimeter. Slice bananas on top. Add second layer. Place remaining filling (leaving ½ inch around perimeter because the filling will squooosh out...is that a word? My spell check says 'no' but I like it, so it stays J!) Add top layer of the cake. Cover top with somewhat cooled ganache and allow it to run down the sides in a very natural 'organic' nature.
