I love todays recipe because it has it ALL…Cake, Cheesecake and chocolate. Yumm! You won’t need dessert for a week after eating a slice of this! Even though boston cream pie involve three different components, they come together quite easily and are a cinch to assemble.

I had made the real boston cream pie long back during my college times and needless to say, it was an enormous hit. I had no doubt that the cake version would be just as good, and i was right. You cant go wrong with cheese cake and chocolate.

For those of you who dont know what boston cream pie is, it is a cake that is filled with a custard or cream filling and frosted with chocolate. Here i replaced the custard with cheese cake. I think you all should give this recipe a try, it is not to be missed.

MILK CHOCOLATE GANACHE:

226 g milk chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream

  1. Place half of the chocolate in a bowl. Heat heavy cream on a medium high heat until it comes to a boil.
  2. Remove from heat and immediately pour over chocolate and stir until chocolate is completely melted.
  3. Add remaining chocolate and mix until completely melted.
  4. Cool the ganache until it is thickened a bit, but thin thin enough for pouring on top of the cake. I cooled mine in the fridge for 1 hour.
  5. Pour the ganache over cheesecake cake evenly and chill again until ready to serve.

Notes:

✔️ Even though the steps look intimidating, it is actually not very hard to make this. I made the cake batter first and while that was baking, i made the cheese cake batter. Then you just have to pour the cheesecake batter on top of cake and bake. Both cake and cheesecake recipe is very simple and basic. Doesn’t take much time to prepare it. Then i refrigerated it overnight. I made the ganache the next day and poured on the cake.
✔️ The temperature may vary in different ovens, so just regulate the baking time accordingly.
✔️ The cake layer might get hard if you refrigerate for more than 2 days. So either try to finish the cake soon, which wont be very difficult😉 or just let the cake sit out for sometime before digging in, if you are eating after 2-3 days.

      1. You are such a tease Sadia.. everything I love in one sitting, and I would not even feel guilty as I would eat the fruit as well :)). What a divine cheesecake, this is definitely going to be baked at my home for a special occasion. Did you bake it in a cheesecake pan, and did you leave it out after the ganache layer?
