Instructions
To make the Cookie Cups:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin pan, with nonstick spray.
- In a bowl combine the cake mix, eggs and softened butter until a thick dough forms.
- Take scoops of the dough. Press them down to flatten in each muffin cup.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. Until golden brown. Use a knife to loosen the edges then press down the center of each cup to create an indentation. Allow them to cool.
For the Vanilla Cream:
- In another bowl beat together the vanilla pudding mix, heavy cream and milk until stiff peaks form.
- Use a piping bag. Spoon to fill each cooled cookie cup indentation with this mixture.
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- In a microwave bowl heat the chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream for 20 seconds. Whisk well until smooth. Repeat in bursts if needed for smoothness.
- Spoon a bit of ganache on top of the cream, in each cookie cup.
- Refrigerate until the ganache sets before serving.
Notes
Attention all gluten-sensitive sweet tooths! Transforming our Easy Boston Cream Pie Cookie Bites into a gluten-free delight is a piece of cake—quite literally! Begin with a quality gluten-free yellow cake mix to ensure that your cookie cups are safe and scrumptious for everyone to enjoy. When selecting your mix, aim for one that's a 1:1 substitute to avoid any guesswork. For the thickening agent in your vanilla cream, confirm that your instant pudding mix is also gluten-free, as some brands may include gluten-containing ingredients. And lastly, double-check that your chocolate chips haven't been cross-contaminated with gluten products.
