❓ FAQs
Can I use pudding instead of custard?
Yes, thick vanilla pudding works well, but custard gives a richer, more authentic Boston cream flavor.
Why chill before adding chocolate?
Chilling helps keep the custard from melting under the warm chocolate glaze.
Can these be made ahead?
Absolutely! Bake cookies a day ahead and fill just before serving.
