FAQ for Boston Cream Dessert Bars
1. Can I make these bars in advance?
Yes! Boston Cream Dessert Bars are actually better when made in advance. Prepare the bars the day before, cover, and store in the refrigerator until serving.
2. Can I use homemade custard instead of instant pudding?
Absolutely! If you prefer a homemade custard, you can prepare a classic vanilla pastry cream and let it cool before spreading it over the cake layer.
3. What’s the best way to store leftover bars?
Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. These bars don’t freeze well, as the custard layer may separate upon thawing.
4. How can I make the ganache less rich?
If you prefer a lighter ganache, you can reduce the amount of chocolate chips slightly or use a mix of milk and dark chocolate.
