He usually wants pineapple upside cake but this year he switched it up on me and wanted a boston cream pie. So I went diggin for a boston cream pie recipe and saw one that was a cheesecake. I mentioned it and he said "ooooooo yah!".
The recipe I found, wasn't really much of a recipe. There was an ingredient list (but no measurements) and a vague how to. So I kinda had to wing it.
It's just a new york style cheesecake with a pastry cream layer topped with sponge cake and coated with ganache.
I'm pretty happy with it. I'm comfortable with cheesecake (I generally make one a year, either summer time or christmas time), I'm comfortable with making cake from scratch, but this was the first time with making the pastry cream. And I'm so happy with it.
He took his first bite, and you know how when something is stupid good you kinda chuckle/laugh? Yah, I like that response to my baking. He swallowed that first bite and says, "Ooooooomygod, this is obscene."
