BOSTON CREAM PIE RECIPE - NYT COOKING



Boston Cream Pie Recipe - NYT Cooking image

An American classic, Boston cream pie isn't a pie at all. Its base is an old-fashioned hot milk cake, a downy-soft, buttery yellow cake. How you whip the eggs and the sugar is critical, as the tiny air bubbles they produce add lift to the finished product. This traditional version is best the day it's made, but will hold up in the fridge for a couple of days. You may just notice a slight change in texture. Slathered with homemade vanilla custard and a chocolate glaze, it hits all the right notes, but it would be just as lovely served with in-season berries or layered with chocolate or coffee custard instead of vanilla. Make it as is, or go rogue. Either way, it’s sure to please.

Total Time 1 hours

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch kosher salt
1 cup/240 milliliters whole milk
1/4 cup/60 milliliters heavy cream
1 tablespoon/14 grams unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 tablespoons/114 grams (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for the pan
1 3/4 cups/224 grams all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup/180 milliliters whole milk
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup/60 milliliters heavy cream
4 ounces/113 grams semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon neutral oil, such as safflower
Pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • Make the custard: In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well combined. Whisk in cornstarch and salt. In a slow, steady stream, whisk in milk and then the cream. Add butter. Cook mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, just until it starts to thicken. Immediately whisk mixture until smooth, then continue to cook and stir custard until it has come to a very low boil for 2 minutes, about 6 to 8 minutes total. Strain custard through a fine mesh sieve into a small bowl, pushing it through with a small spatula. Stir in vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic directly onto the surface. Chill for at least 3 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Prepare the cake: Heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9-by-2-inch round baking pan, generously greasing the sides, and line it with parchment paper. Butter parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the milk and butter to a simmer over medium heat. When the butter is melted, remove pan from heat. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and thick, about 4 to 6 minutes. With the mixer running on low, add the milk mixture and beat until combined. Then add flour mixture and vanilla and beat until combined.
  • Transfer batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Transfer to a rack and let cool 10 minutes. With a very thin knife, cut around the edge to release the cake from the side of the pan. Carefully flip the cake onto the rack, then turn it right-side-up to cool completely.
  • Assemble the cake: Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the cake into two layers and place the bottom layer on a serving plate. Stir custard, and spread it onto the cut side of the bottom half. Replace the top half of the cake, cut side down.
  • Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium-low, heat the cream to a simmer. Remove the pot from the heat and pour cream over the chocolate chips, oil, salt and let stand for 3 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the cake.

COCONUT CREAM PIE RECIPE - NYT COOKING



Coconut Cream Pie Recipe - NYT Cooking image

This recipe came to The Times in a 2010 article about Valerie Confections, a Los Angeles bakery that specializes in vintage desserts with a California provenance. This spectacular pie is an adaptation of one that was served at Bullock's Wilshire, a luxury department store in Los Angeles, popular in the '20s, '30s and '40s, that had a number of celebrity clients including Mae West, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo and Clark Gable.

Total Time 3 hours

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup shortening, chilled, cut into pieces
1/3 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 to 5 tablespoons ice water
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
6 egg yolks
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon softened unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
3 tablespoons cream of coconut
1 cup sweetened, shredded coconut or unsweetened coconut flakes
2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the crust: Sift flour, sugar and salt together. Using a food processor or pastry cutter, blend butter and shortening into the flour mixture until pea-sized pieces form. Slowly add the water until the dough just comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, flatten into a disk, and refrigerate for at least one hour. Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface until it is large enough to create a 1-inch overhang on a 9-inch pie pan. Using a fork, poke several holes along the base of the crust. Finish the rim of the crust to your liking and chill until firm, 30 minutes. Line with parchment paper and pie weights. Bake until the edges are pale golden and the crust will hold its shape, 25-30 minutes. Carefully remove the parchment and weights and bake until the crust is dry and pale golden, 5-10 more minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
  • Make the filling: Decrease oven temperature to 325 degrees. Pour evaporated milk, cream and sugar into a saucepan. Over medium heat, bring to a boil, then immediately remove from heat. Using a whisk attachment on an electric mixer, beat egg yolks until they appear pale and fluffy. Add cornstarch and butter; continue beating until they are fully incorporated. Add vanilla, coconut extract and cream of coconut. Set the mixer on a low speed and slowly add the warm cream mixture to the egg mixture. Pour the filling back into the saucepan and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the custard has thickened to the consistency of runny yogurt. Pour coconut filling into the baked pie shell and bake until the edges are barely puffed and the center wobbles like Jell-o when you give the pan a shuffle, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the pie to cool completely, 2-3 hours
  • Make the topping: Place coconut on baking sheet and toast until light brown, about 7 minutes. Whip cream, sugar and vanilla to stiff peaks.
  • To finish: Place a large mountain of whipped cream in the center of the pie and, using a small offset spatula, create a dome shape. Sprinkle the entire dome with toasted coconut. Refrigerate until ready to serve

BANANA-CREAM PIE RECIPE - NYT COOKING
Banana-cream pie is a fixture of Los Angeles dining, Jennifer Steinhauer reported for The Times in 2007. In large part, it seems that both the banana, a staple fruit in many parts of the world, and the cream pie, which is standard fare in the South and Midwest, appeal to the heterogeneous eaters of Los Angeles. Annie Miler, the owner and chef at Clementine, a bakery near Century City, who grew up baking banana-cream pies, told her, “People are sort of here from all over the country.” Her recipe follows. It’s fantastic.
