Gluten-Free Boston Cream Pie Recipe

Last month my son’s geography class was studying Massachusetts and the teacher was planning on serving Boston Cream Pie. I bring a gluten-free version of whatever she serves, so my son is not left out. However, I had never made a Boston Cream Pie before. I hadn’t even ever tasted a Boston Cream Pie before, so I turned to a trusted friend and adapted Betty Crocker’s Boston Cream Pie recipe to make it gluten-free.

The Gluten-Free Boston Cream Pie recipe turned out to be quite easy to make, but it must be made in several steps and time is required for cooling in between the steps.

    This looks great! I like that the filling uses milk, unlike other recipes I see using cream. I think I’ll have to save this one for later, though, since we only do goat milk around here and the goats are low in production right now.

    Thanks for sharing! Nice place you have here.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
