Indulge in the delightful symphony of flavors and textures that is Boston Cream Dessert Cups, a captivating treat inspired by the classic Boston cream pie. These individual cups are crafted with a luscious combination of creamy pudding, tender cookies, and a rich chocolate ganache, creating a dessert experience that will tantalize your taste buds.
The recipe offers two irresistible variations: a traditional version featuring a homemade vanilla pudding and chocolate sauce, and a simplified alternative using instant pudding mix and store-bought chocolate syrup. Both variations promise an explosion of flavors and textures, making them perfect for any occasion, whether it's a casual gathering or a special celebration.
The traditional recipe takes you on a culinary journey, guiding you through the art of making a velvety vanilla pudding from scratch using simple ingredients like milk, sugar, cornstarch, eggs, and vanilla extract. The homemade chocolate sauce adds a decadent touch, creating a harmonious balance of sweetness and bitterness.
For those seeking convenience, the simplified recipe offers a delightful shortcut. Simply whisk instant pudding mix with milk to create a creamy base, and drizzle store-bought chocolate syrup on top. The result is a dessert that's just as satisfying and delicious, with minimal effort.
Both variations are then adorned with layers of crushed vanilla wafers, adding a delightful crunch and a hint of vanilla flavor. The final touch is a drizzle of rich chocolate ganache, made by melting chocolate chips with heavy cream, resulting in a glossy and luscious topping that elevates the dessert to a new level of indulgence.
These Boston Cream Dessert Cups are not only a feast for the palate but also a visual delight. Served in individual cups, they showcase the beautiful layers of pudding, cookies, and chocolate, creating an enticing presentation that will impress your guests.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare mini muffin pan by spraying each cup with non-stick cooking spray. Pour yellow cake mix into a medium bowl and whisk {or sift} to remove any lumps. Add softened butter and eggs to the cake mix and combine with a hand held mixer {or by hand} until dough is thick and sticky. Using a small cookie scoop {or 1/2 tbsp.}, put a mound of cookie dough into each muffin cup. Using your fingers, go back and press the mound of dough down to create a level cookie. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately take a off set spatula or knife and run it around the edge of each cookie to release it from the pan. Once cooled, go back and use a tart shaper {or end of a wooden spoon} to press middle of cookie down and create a indentation. Move cookies to cooling rack and let them cool completely.
- In a medium bowl combine instant vanilla pudding mix, heavy cream and milk. Using a mixer {or whisk}, incorporate ingredients until the mixture is thick and has stiff peaks. Move vanilla cream to a pastry bag {or Ziploc bag} and pipe a generous amount of cream into each cookie indention.
- In a microwave safe bowl combine heavy cream and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave for 20 seconds and whisk. If you get silky and smooth consistency then you are finished. If not, you need to add 10 second increments until you do. Spoon a 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of ganache onto the top of each cookie cup. Refrigerate until the ganache is set and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right cookie mix: For best results, use a chocolate chip cookie mix that contains both chocolate chips and nuts. This will give your dessert cups a rich and flavorful base.
- Don't overbeat the batter: Overbeating the batter will make your cookie cups tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape better.
- Use a muffin tin: A muffin tin is the perfect size for baking cookie cups. You can also use a mini muffin tin for smaller cups.
- Fill the cups halfway: Don't overfill the cookie cups, or they will overflow while baking.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool completely: Let the cookies cool completely before filling them with the pastry cream. This will help prevent the pastry cream from melting.
- Use a piping bag to fill the cookies: A piping bag will make it easy to fill the cookies with the pastry cream. If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon.
- Top the cookies with whipped cream: Whipped cream is the perfect finishing touch for these Boston cream dessert cups.
Conclusion:
Boston cream dessert cups are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a chocolate chip cookie base, a creamy pastry cream filling, and a whipped cream topping, these dessert cups are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and decadent dessert, give these Boston cream dessert cups a try.
