Boston Cream Cupcakes Recipe
  • Prep: 25 min. Bake: 15 min. + cooling
  • Yield: 6 Servings
25 15 40

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons shortening
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 2/3 cup prepared vanilla pudding
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

  • In a small bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
  • Filled paper-lined muffin cups half full. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert a small tip. Fill with pudding. Push the tip through the top to fill each cupcake.
  • Place chocolate chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Cool, stirring occasionally, to room temperature or until ganache thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Spoon over cupcakes. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 1/2 dozen.

I love this recipe - how elegant they turned out. One word of caution, be sure and use a tip that is long enough to go into the cupcake otherwise you won't get enough pudding inside and they just aren't the same. We loved it, will makes these over and over.

Very good recipe! I used cheesecake pudding instead but vanilla would be good too. I like that it only makes 6 cupcakes then we are not tempted to eat a whole batch of 18 like regular cupcake recipes.

I just saw this recipe and I am anxious to make these. They sound so good, but I will have to double the recipe because 1/2 doz. will not be enough. Thank You

This recipe is so simple to make and tastes so good, it's a keeper, for sure and one we'll be making many more times. I love the taste that comes through in this cupcake and will be keeping this recipe in my recipe box for a long, long time.

What a fancy cupcake. I agree with the other reviews- how nice to have this dessert recipe that makes 6 (I got 7) cupcakes. It makes it so I can bake something else the next day! Fun for those who love to try new recipes and dont have those eating machines living with us any longer.

I love Boston Cream Pie! My Mother use to make the best!! There is just the 2 of us, so the cupcake idea is great! Can give some away and have some to eat! This is a great recipe and my husband loved it - will go into my "favorite" box! Thanks for sharing!

This sounds easy and delicious. I like recipes that make smaller amounts. cooking for 2 can be a challenge and if I make desserts that feed 10-12, I eat it until it is gone like a little pig.
