Ingredients: 1-1/2 cups cold half-and-half cream; 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix; 1 loaf (10-3/4 ounces) frozen pound cake, thawed; 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar; 2 tablespoons baking cocoa; 4 to 5 teaspoons hot water

Why make a Boston cream pie from scratch when this cake version is so simple? Preparing the pudding with half-and-half cream instead of milk gives this dessert an added richness that's hard to beat.

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups cold half-and-half cream
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 loaf (10-3/4 ounces) frozen pound cake, thawed
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
4 to 5 teaspoons hot water

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together cream and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set.
Cut cake into three horizontal layers. Place bottom layer on a serving plate; top with half of the pudding. Repeat layers. Top with third cake layer.
In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, cocoa and enough water to reach desired spreading consistency. Spread over top of cake, letting glaze drizzle down sides.

This cake is so easy to make! WAY easier than trying to make a real boston creme pie (which is ridiculously hard)
