Everything about the Boston Cream Pie totally explained
The
Boston cream pie is a cake, not a pie. The idea of its being a pie most likely stems from the easier availability of pie tins over cake pans during the time the dish originated. (It might also originate from the use of the
custard cream filling which is usually associated with
pies rather than
cakes.)
Created by French chef M. Sanzian at Boston's
Parker House Hotel, opened in
1855, this
pudding/cake combination comprises two layers of sponge cake filled with vanilla
custard or
crème pâtissière. The cake is topped with a
chocolate glaze (such as
ganache) and sometimes
confectioner's sugar or a
maraschino cherry.
A Boston cream
doughnut is a local name for a
Berliner filled with vanilla
custard or crème pâtissière and topped with chocolate icing.
The Boston cream pie has been designated the official state dessert of
Massachusetts, while the Boston cream doughnut is the official state doughnut. (See
List of official symbols of Massachusetts).
