Boston Cream Dessert Cups

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Boston Cream Dessert Cups.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, line 24 muffin cups with paper liners to make serving a breeze later on. Now, take your sugar cookie dough and divide it evenly among the muffin cups, pressing it down gently to form a base.

2. Step 2

   Once your oven is ready, pop the muffin tray in and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookie dough has softened and spread across the bottom of each cup. When done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, white sugar, flour, and milk using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Next, add in the first egg and mix until fully incorporated, then add the second egg and blend again. Finally, gently fold in the instant vanilla pudding mix until just combined.

4. Step 4

   Spoon about 2 tablespoons of this luscious cream cheese filling into each muffin cup, right on top of the cookie base. Return the muffin tray to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden. Once baked, allow the dessert cups to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before carefully removing them.

5. Step 5

   While the dessert cups cool, prepare the chocolate frosting. Remove the foil cover from the frosting container and microwave it for about 30 seconds to soften it. Stir until smooth and creamy. Now, spread about one tablespoon of the melted frosting over each dessert cup, creating a delicious chocolate layer on top.

6. Step 6

   For the final touch, refrigerate the dessert cups for at least an hour to let everything set perfectly. When you're ready to serve, these delightful Boston Cream Dessert Cups will be a hit at any gathering! Enjoy your sweet creation!
