Description
Mini golden cookie cups filled with silky vanilla custard and topped with rich chocolate ganache — these Boston Cream Pie Cookie Bites are a fun, poppable twist on the classic dessert, perfect for parties or sweet cravings.
Ingredients
1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough (about 16.5 oz)
1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 1/2 cups cold milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of sugar cookie dough into each mini muffin cup and press down the center slightly to form a shallow cup shape.
- Bake the cookie cups for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
- Immediately after baking, press down the centers of the cookie cups again to reinforce the cup shape.
- Let the cookie cups cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the pudding mix, cold milk, and vanilla extract together for about 2 minutes until thickened. Refrigerate for 5–10 minutes to set.
- Fill each cooled cookie cup with a spoonful of the prepared vanilla pudding.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it’s just about to simmer, then remove from heat.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, corn syrup, and butter until smooth and glossy to make the ganache.
- Spoon a bit of ganache over the top of each pudding-filled cookie cup.
- Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set before serving.
Notes
Use chocolate cookie dough for a double-chocolate variation.
Swap vanilla pudding with banana or chocolate pudding for a flavor twist.
Top with sea salt or crushed toffee bits for extra texture.
Use chocolate frosting instead of ganache for a faster version.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving for a softer ganache.
