Boston Cream Pie Day Comes With the Original
National Boston Cream Pie Day comes with a baking invitation from the hotel most closely associated with the dessert.
When: Friday, October 23
Bake: Omni Parker House’s Boston cream pie recipe (PDF)
Boston stop: Omni Parker House, 60 School St.
The hotel’s version layers sponge cake with pastry cream, adds chocolate ganache and a white-chocolate web, then presses toasted almonds around the sides. Its recipe recommends chilling the pastry cream overnight if possible, so Friday is a useful day to start.
