Daring Bakers Challenge #11: Bostini Cream Pie

October 29, 2007 | Filed Under Daring Bakers, Pies, Baking 

 

Thanks to all the very encouraging and head-swelling comments I received after I tried my very first Daring Bakers Challenge, I set out to meet the next challenge — Bostini Creme Pie — chosen by Mary at Alpineberry. 

Ugh!  It. Was. Hard.  But I made it. 

I’m not sure if the pie is suppose to look like the ones in my photos but it’s what I came up with.  The good thing about these Daring Bakers Challenges is that I’m gaining baking experience and making foods that I never dreamed about making.  I’m glad I survived this experience.  Yay!

My name is Paz.  And I’m a Daring Baker.   ;-)

You can find the recipe here.

Ed. Note:  LOL!  After looking at some of the Bostini Creme Pies created by others, I see that I put way too much chocolate on my pie. LOL!  Hey, what do I know?  I’m still learning.  To see other beautiful Bostini Creme Pies creations, check out the official Daring Bakers’ Blogroll.

  7. Lydia on October 29th, 2007 11:20 am

    You are most definitely a daring baker! I’ve never heard of this pie so I don’t know what it’s supposed to look like, but it looks delicious.

  8. Deborah on October 29th, 2007 12:31 pm

    I love how yours look like they have been dunked in chocolate! A true Daring Baker!

  9. Meeta on October 29th, 2007 1:09 pm

    Ummm….there is no such thing as too much chocolate on the top of a Daring Baker dessert ;-) Great job on your challenge this month!!!

  15. mari on October 29th, 2007 8:49 pm

    NO such thing as too much chocolate. Hi, I’m mari. and I’m a hungry reader.

  16. Elle (Dove) on October 29th, 2007 10:35 pm

    Whaddya mean, too much chocolate? Looks pretty close to perfect to me!

  17. Tartelette on October 30th, 2007 1:01 am

    No, you didn’t.just.say.”too much chocolate”…?!!! Looks great and I am happy you decided to participate again!

  18. Saffron on October 30th, 2007 7:31 am

    Hi Paz,
    this cake is ideal for me!! Can I va one? You’re really a Daring Baker!
    Compliments and …baci

  19. Belinda on October 30th, 2007 10:36 am

    I’m with everyone else…there is NO such thing as too much chocolate! I think your Bostinis drenched in decadent chocolate look 100% scrumptious! :-)

  20. Jen Yu on October 30th, 2007 2:21 pm

    I know far too many people who would say you put just the right amount of chocolate on your bostinis :) I think you did a fabulous job.

  21. April on October 30th, 2007 2:26 pm

    oh yum!! This is making me drool!

  22. Christina on October 30th, 2007 2:56 pm

    I actually really like the way it looks completely submersed in chocolate! It reminds me of a dessert that I can’t recall. Or maybe it’s because it looks “mysterious” until you start digging in!

  23. Mary on October 30th, 2007 3:08 pm

    I really like the decadence of all that chocolate. Nice job Paz!

  24. the chocolate lady on October 30th, 2007 6:09 pm

    “Too much chocolate”? This concept does not exist.

  25. ejm on October 30th, 2007 7:30 pm

    Congratulations! Your Bostini Cream Pie looks great, Paz! And personally, I don’t think there can really BE too much chocolate on Boston Cream Pie.

    -Elizabeth

    P.S. Earlier this year, my husband made Boston Cream Pie at my request. For comparison sake, take a look at the recipe he used: http://etherwork.net/blog/?p=355

  26. Rosa on October 30th, 2007 10:02 pm

    Great job, Paz! Congratulations! Those pies look gorgeous!

    Cheers,

    Rosa

  27. Christine on October 31st, 2007 12:55 am

    Fabulous, Paz! I love these little gems.

  28. Anne on October 31st, 2007 6:56 am

    It looks divine with all the chocolate in it! well done :smile:

  29. Annemarie on October 31st, 2007 7:34 am

    too much? Pah - nonsense! The chocolate looks like it formed a lovely little shell over the bostini, which I can imagine added a nice crunchy texture to the smoothness and softness of the other bits.

  30. E.K.Bensah II on October 31st, 2007 8:24 am

    This looks SO good! I can already taste it in my mouth!!;-))

  31. Sheltie Girl on October 31st, 2007 9:51 am

    You did a lovely job on your bostinis. You are much braver than I am, you went for a lofty presentation in a cup. I stuck a plate so the custard would have somewhere to roam.

    Hi Chef Paz,

    I really love what you’ve done - they look formidable (and delicious, no doubt)!

    Thanks for the kind words you left on my blog.

    Julius

  35. laurie on October 31st, 2007 8:39 pm

    I think you put just enough chocolate on, Bring it on! They are beautiful!

  36. Claire on October 31st, 2007 8:59 pm

    :-) Your Bostinis make me think of chocolate ice cream cones!

  37. Lisa on November 1st, 2007 12:02 am

    Uhmm.. Paz? I don’t think there’s enough chocolate. *grin*

    Beautiful bostinis! I’m so happy you enjoyed another challenge!!

    xoxo

  38. maria~ on November 1st, 2007 9:48 am

    No such thing as too much chocolate!!!

  39. Gabi on November 1st, 2007 1:15 pm

    I agree there is no such concept as too much chocolate! :lol:
    Your Bostini is drool worthy!
    xoxo

  40. Julie on November 2nd, 2007 4:07 am

    How did it taste, how did it taste??? I think they look good! In fact, they look almost just like the original dessert that the restaurant where they were created serves, so no shame at all in that! I think they look fun and tasty!

  41. Sara on November 2nd, 2007 4:20 pm

    There is NO SUCH THING as too much chocolate!!! :-) When I served my husband his, he took a big bite, making a nice big hole, and then promptly asked me to fill it with more chocolate :-)

  42. Ivonne on November 2nd, 2007 7:48 pm

    My very first thought was, “I want to climb that chocolate mountain!”

    Well done, Paz!

  43. Andrea on November 2nd, 2007 10:15 pm

    I love your tagline (”Look Mom, I’m boiling water!”) Oh, I soooo feel that way most days!! I smothered my Bostini in chocolate, too, though the photos of the Bostini at Scala’s website also shows loads of chocolate on it. Great job!!

  44. joy on November 4th, 2007 9:33 am

    Hey Paz, thanks so much for visiting and leaving comments on The Goddess In You and Your Love Coach.

    Have a great week ahead,
