Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake Life Love and Sugar. April 1. 9, 2. 01. This Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake has a vanilla cake bottom, chocolate ganache filling, thick and creamy vanilla cheesecake and is topped with more chocolate ganache and of course, pastry cream It is my new favorite way to enjoy the wonderful flavors and textures of boston cream pie Similar to my Kahlua Coffee Brownie Cheesecake, this cheesecake took a little work to get it just right. There are several different elements going on and since baking a cheesecake takes a little time, it took several versions and several days to get this just how I wanted it. I am thrilled to say the final cheesecake is SO DARN GOOD As with most cheesecakes, I spread the work out over time. I usually make the cake and cheesecake part one day, let it firm up overnight, then finish it off the next day. Thats how I roll, but feel free to do it all in one day, if you prefer. To get started, youve got to make the cake layer. Its a delicious vanilla cake that should be fairly straight forward just be sure to not skimp on the creaming time. It helps ensure a nice, fluffy cake Bake the cake right in the same springform pan youll use for the full cheesecake, so that the size is correct. Believe it or not, not all 9 inch pans are created exactly the same size. Once the cake is baked, set it aside to cool. The next step is one that I found to be very important for a pretty looking final cheesecake. Before adding the cheesecake on top of the baked and cooled cake, youll want to remove the springform pan sides and re spray them with a non stick spray. I re washed it and everything, then gave it a good, healthy spray. Because some cheesecake squeezes down between the sides of the cake and the sides of the pan, that thin little layer can easily get stuck to the pan after you bake the cheesecake. While it still tastes great, it kind of messes up the look of the sides of the cheesecake, so greasing it well will help that not be a problem. Do You Cover Pot When Simmering. You can also give the cheesecake a little jiggle right before you remove the pan sides to loosen it from the sides. Next up is the filling. I wanted to leave a lovely place atop the cheesecake for the pastry cream, so I added some of the chocolate ganache essential to a boston cream pie dessert to the center of the cheesecake. I am totally in love with the way it turns out. The chocolate incorporates beautifully and breaks up the vanilla of the cake and cheesecake. It also ends up just a bit thick and fudgy and I love the fudgy texture between the soft cake and thick and creamy cheesecake. Pure heaven. And as if the cheesecake itself wasnt good enough, it gets better. While the cheesecake cools, go ahead and put together the ganache thatll be used for the topping, as well as the pastry cream. The ganache for the topping uses an extra ingredient that it doesnt use in the filling corn syrup. Adding a touch of corn syrup to the ganache helps it stay just a bit less firm when refrigerated and completely cooled. It makes it easier to use it for piping. If you end up finding that your ganache is still a touch firm, microwave it for maybe 5 1. I wouldnt suggest more than that. You really want it to stay firm enough to stay in place while you pipe it and I know I prefer working with it a bit firmer. MY OTHER RECIPESOnce youve piped the ganache around the edges of the cheesecake, add the cooled pastry cream one of the best parts to the center.
