Carol's Boston Cream Pie image

I actually used 3 recipes to make this cake . My family all love it and it is so easy to make and looks amazing when you serve it. I think the secret is in the filling . It is so so good I normally eat some of it like pudding.This filling is also great for Coconut Cream Pie and Banana cream Pie - and it would make great Cream...

I had some trouble getting the custard filling to set, but other than that the pie was delicious.

This Boston cream pie recipe is a winner! The cake layers were moist and fluffy, and the custard filling was rich and creamy. I loved the addition of the chocolate glaze, which gave the pie a beautiful shine and a decadent flavor.
