Peanut Butter Boston Cream Pie
Peanut Butter Filling
2 cups whipping cream
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Sponge Cake
1/2 cup 2% milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 large eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Chocolate Glaze
2/3 cup condensed milk
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 °F. Grease a 9-inch pie plate and place in a baking dish
with a lip.
Filling: heat cream to just below a simmer. Beat remaining ingredients until
smooth. Slowly beat in hot cream until evenly blended. Pour mixture into
prepared pie plate and pour boiling water around pie plate. Bake for 20-25
minutes, until set. Let cool to room temperature, then chill custard in pie
plate completely.
Cake: grease a 9-inch round cake pan, line the bottom with parchment, then
grease again and dust lightly with flour.
Heat milk and butter until butter is melted, and keep warm. Whip eggs and sugar
on high speed until thick and pale yellow. Add vanilla. Sift flour, baking
powder and salt and add to egg mixture, beating on low just until blended.
Increase speed to medium and pour in hot milk, mixing just until blended.
Scrape into prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a tester inserted
in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes, then turn
out onto a plate, peel off parchment, then invert (so top is up) onto a rack to
cool completely.
To assemble, slice cake into 2 layers. Stir chilled custard to smooth and
spread over bottom layer. Top with second layer and chill while preparing
glaze.
Chocolate Glaze: Stir condensed milk and chocolate in a pot over medium-low
heat until melted and shiny.
Spread glaze over cake and place peanuts along the sides of the cake.
Chill until ready to serve.
