I think you need to make an amendment to the recipe, the milk apparently needs to be hottish when added (I found this on a website dedicated to custards). When I tried this the second time it was thick within the 7 minutes. Also, the vanilla is left out of the directions for the cake. Can you please add this in for future bakers? I didn't remember to put it in because it was not in the directions. Thanks! Everything else was lovely :-) I had the same problem with the thickening, stirring for over 30 minutes with no result.

I hesitated adding so much sugar and should have followed my instincts. The pudding was also very yellow with all the eggyolks since I have fresh eggs from my own chickens. I think a filling using cornstarch would be a better bet. I would also add some sugar to the frosting as laurie above did if I made it again, or make a more fudgy frosting.

Made the Boston Cream Pie. It was fantastic tasting, but I agree with the previous person, Joolz. The pastry cream did not thicken, I added 2 T sugar to the frosting. Loved it but sure can't serve to company, only to family who knows I cook with love. I will keep looking. Thanks. So excited finding your website. Made the Boston Cream Pie.
