Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Cups
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
Whipped Cream Filling
- 1 (3.25 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup milk
Chocolate Ganache
- 2 tablespoons semi-sweet baking chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookie cups.
- Make Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, and softened butter. Beat the mixture until you achieve a smooth dough consistency.
- Bake Cookie Cups: Grease a mini muffin pan and spoon the dough into each cup, filling about two-thirds full. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow the cookie cups to cool completely in the pan.
- Prepare Whipped Cream Filling: While the cookies cool, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, heavy whipping cream, and milk in a bowl until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy. Refrigerate this filling until you are ready to use it.
- Make Chocolate Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the semi-sweet baking chips in a bowl and let it sit for one minute. Then stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Assemble Cookies: Once the cookie cups have fully cooled, fill each one with the whipped cream filling using a spoon or piping bag for precision.
- Add Ganache Topping: Drizzle or spoon the prepared chocolate ganache over the filled cookies evenly.
- Set and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled cookies for 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set before serving. Enjoy the delicious Boston Cream Pie Cookies chilled.
Notes
- Ensure cookies are completely cooled before filling to prevent melting the whipped cream.
- You can substitute semi-sweet baking chips with dark or milk chocolate chips for different flavor variations.
- If desired, garnish the ganache with a light dusting of cocoa powder or a raspberry for a decorative touch.
- Store leftover cookies in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
