This is an easy make ahead dessert… Boston Cream Pie is one of our favorite flavors! These easy parfaits feature a soft cake topped with layers of rich vanilla custard and a creamy chocolate pudding. The result is a deliciously portable Boston Cream Pie fix that is ready for your next potluck or bbq! I have included two ways to tackle this dessert… quick and easy starting with a boxed cake mix and pudding mixes or homemade from scratch! I’ve included both ways, if you have the time, I would recommend making the custard (ok, and the chocolate layer) from scratch, the flavor is so much better! I do love the a boxed cake mix so it is the perfect base regardless of how you make your cream layers.
I like to layer parfaits in mason jars (half-pint is the size I usually use) because it’s easy to just put the lid on and store them in the fridge. The great thing about these parfaits is that they are great in ANY type of clear glass or plastic jars or cups! No need to buy anything special for them! If you’d like to stretch out the recipe to feed a crowd, you can certainly use more cake (you’ll likely have extra) or change the jar sizes.
