Don’t let the name fool you, Boston Cream Pie is actually a cake and not pie at all! I’ve learned that the name originated back in the 1800’s when pie plates were the most common bakeware, and were often used to bake cakes. The cake is made with 3 important parts:
Vegan Vanilla Cake Vegan Custard (Pastry Cream)& Chocolate Ganache
While it may seem a little intimidating, it’s not that difficult to put together. Vegan Boston Cream Pie is a fabulous dessert that is sure to impress! If you love the vanilla-custard-chocolate combination, make sure you check out my Vegan Boston Cream Donuts recipe as well!
How to make Vegan Boston Cream Pie
First, make your vegan vanilla cake layers. While the cakes are baking, prepare the vegan custard, then chill it in the refrigerator. Once the cakes are done, let them cool completely. You can speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator. Take the chilled custard out of the refrigerator and use a mixer (or immersion blender) to make it smooth again, as it can get clumpy in the refrigerator. Spread the thick custard onto the first cake layer, then place the other cake on top. Top with chocolate ganache.
