Boston Cream Dessert Cups

  4.4 – 24 reviews  

Soon after we began dating, my husband made this for me. He makes it so full that it could fill a 10 gallon bucket, so I significantly reduced it. It completely stole my heart, and it’s great for a cozy picnic.

Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Additional Time: 1 hr 30 mins
Total Time: 2 hrs 40 mins
Servings: 24
Yield: 2 dozen

Ingredients

  1. 1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  2. 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  3. ½ cup sour cream
  4. ½ cup white sugar
  5. 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  6. 1 tablespoon milk
  7. 2 eggs
  8. 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  9. 1 (16 ounce) container prepared chocolate frosting

Instructions

  1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper muffin liners. Divide sugar cookie dough into each muffin cup.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven until the cookie dough softens and spreads across the bottom of each muffin cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
  3. Beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, flour, and milk with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat the first egg into the cream cheese mixture until completely blended, then beat in the last egg. Mix in the instant pudding mix until just incorporated. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling into each muffin cup. Return muffin cups to the oven and bake until the filling is set, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pans for 30 minutes then remove the desserts.
  4. Remove the foil cover of the prepared frosting and microwave until softened, about 30 seconds. Stir frosting until smooth, then spread about one tablespoon of frosting onto each dessert cup. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.

I used the Chocolate Ice Cream topping instead of icing that was a great suggested. Yummy and easy.
Connor Jennings
These were delicious!! However, I did make a few tweaks to the recipe. I used my own chocolate chip cookie dough for the bottom layer vs store bought sugar cookie dough. Added 1 tsp of vanilla to the cream cheese mixture. When they were cooled off, I used a tablespoon of Smucker’s chocolate fudge topping. Huge hit!

Make sure you get the full-sized paper holders. I got mini ones, and it grew too big.
Jonathan Price
I followed the recipe as written and found it easy to make and very tasty. I agree with other reviews who question the Boston Cream title but it’s easy to make and taste great.
Krista Anderson
These were soooo tasty. Came out exactly like the picture.
Samuel Stokes
Easy and yummy!
Richard Shaffer
Super yummy and a delicious texture! I’ve never had a cream pie so I have no idea if this comes close but it is fantastic regardless!
Amber Rivera
This is the Betty Crocker Prize-Winnng Recipe-2008.These were OK.

Do not taste like Boston cream pie, but it’s a pretty good cupcake
Tammy Tate
This was scrumptious! The closest thing I’ve ever made to a REAL cheese cake!
Timothy Davis
Not quite what I was expecting. These were OK, but not great.
Kari Salas
Tasted good, but not quite what I thought they would be.
Alison Welch
These were so easy and SO delicious!!
Yolanda Whitney
These were good and pretty cute. I removed the cupcake wrapper before serving. I used fat free cream cheese and sour cream and they were still very rich. The only thing I may change next time is using something different in place of the canned frosting like maybe a ganache or something. Not only do I think it would improve the taste, my frosting kind of got runny after sitting in the fridge. Thanks for the recipe.

I followed this recipe as instructed and this was one of the best desserts that I have had! I never have had Boston Cream Pie, but these were to die for!
Richard Lucas

Aaron Sanders
this is a great dessert.. I followed the recipe except I made it in a 11 x 13 pan.
Corey Santos
Although I didn’t think it tasted like Boston Cream Pie, it was delicious! My family loved it! Once mine cooled, it did sink in the middle…any ideas as to what I did wrong?? J.B.

I am giving only 4 stars because although these taste wonderful the resulting dessert is not like Boston Cream Pie. They are more of a vanilla flavored cheese cake with chocolate topping. I followed the recipe to the tee, so it is not that I altered it in any way. I was just disappointed that they were not what I’d expected, as I love Boston Cream Pie. Boston Cream Pie does not contain any cream cheese, which should have given me a huge clue that these would not taste like it. One of the reviewers posted that these do taste like Boston Cream Pie so I took a chance. I will make these again, as they are easy to make and do have a great flavor, especially if you are a cheese cake fan, which I am. These would make a great addition to a buffet or appetizer type meal since they are individual servings, easy to handle and eat. But I do think the name of the recipe should be changed to a more appropriate one.

Made the recipe exactly as it’s printed and it turned out great! Very easy and very good. They were a big hit at the super bowl party!
Sandra Dodson
Made this for Superbowl party and everyone loved them. Did get a hint to use graham cracker for the bottom instead of sugar cookies. But a great simple recipe!
