Time 2h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon milk
2 eggs
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (16 ounce) container prepared chocolate frosting

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper muffin liners. Divide sugar cookie dough into each muffin cup.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cookie dough softens and spreads across the bottom of each muffin cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, flour, and milk with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat the first egg into the cream cheese mixture until completely blended, then beat in the last egg. Mix in the instant pudding mix until just incorporated. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling into each muffin cup. Return muffin cups to the oven and bake until the filling is set, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pans for 30 minutes then remove the desserts.
  • Remove the foil cover of the prepared frosting and microwave until softened, about 30 seconds. Stir frosting until smooth, then spread about one tablespoon of frosting onto each dessert cup. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh eggs, real butter, and pure vanilla extract will make a big difference in the taste of your dessert cups.
  • Be careful not to overcook the custard. It should be thick and creamy, but not curdled.
  • Allow the custard to cool completely before assembling the dessert cups. This will help to prevent the layers from separating.
  • If you don't have any vanilla wafers, you can use graham crackers or ladyfingers instead.
  • For a richer flavor, you can use a dark chocolate ganache instead of a milk chocolate ganache.

Conclusion:

Boston cream dessert cups are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
