Here it is!! the october daring baker's challenge!!!
Bostini Cream Pie!!
Was it hard to make?? Not really…just that the number of eggs required in the recipe was mind boggling..at least for me…. :P I halved the recipe and used around 7 eggs...truly when u make a recipe that someone else has chosen that you get to learn more …in this case, how ‘restaurant type’ desserts are created…. I think on my own, i will not consider making a recipe which uses cream and 4 egg yolks to make custard..(isn't custard powder n milk enough???!! :P )
Basically the Bostini Cream Pie has 3 parts to it…a orange chiffon cake drenched with rich chocolate glaze sitting atop of rich eggy custard…
Served it to two different groups of friends..everyone was quite enthusiastic and gave positive reviews… i especially loved the custard…after cooking it, I couldn’t resist licking the spoon and pot clean!!
Mary of Alpineberry was the host this month...hop on over to her blog for the recipe and mouth watering pictures of the cream pie... :)

Haha - I know, the number of eggs was quite daunting! Love your presentation, very pretty!
Congrats on a first challenge completed!
Congrats on your first DB Challenge! I like how you stacked the pieces in the glass. Very cool. And I've never heard of "custard powder." What's in it?
The egg factor was a bit intimidating, I agree! Your Bostinis turned out just perfect...beautiful job! :-)
All the eggs in this recipe made one think about getting a chicken or two!! great job on your first challenge!!!
Powder and milk was exactly what my custard was :) But shhh, don't tell anyone.
Well done on your first challenge.
Beautiful Bostini's!
Beautiful bostinis! Congratulations and welcome to the dbers!

Hurray! You completed your first DB challenge. Pastry cream is my favorite - I licked the spoon too :) Job well done.
jen at use real butter
Great job!! I loved the custard as well and licked the pan clean!
Nicely done on your Bostinis and congrats on completing your first challenge.
My mind was boggled when I first read the ingredient list ---> %D (I actually think that means rolling your eyes, but in my case, it was my eyes rolling in amazement!)
Great job and lovely blog!
Small portions were the only way to go with this one. Welcome to the DB, you got great Bostini!
Like you, I like the custard the best...so incredibly rich! Congrats on your first challenge!
Yay! Congratulations on completing your first challenge! You did a great job!
Even halving it...it uses a lot of eggs! Great job.
I'm glad you were able to do the challenge and you liked the bostini. well done :)
wow!!! thanks everyone for dropping by and all your words of encouragement!!
i've overwhelmed by your kindness!! Feel so loved and welcomed in this cosy community!!! :D
Kellypea: custard powder...hmm...i just checked the ingredient list, it's made up of mainly cornstarch, sugar and vanilla essence...basically u warm milk up, add the required amount of custard powder, heat gently and stir thoroughly to make sure there aren't any lumps...it's pretty common in Australia and i guess in UK too...whereabouts are you based?
breadchick: I chuckled after reading ur comment..yeah! chickens would be a good idea...and they'll be oragnic n free range to boot!!
Beautiful presentation, dears! Great job!
Congrats on your first challenge! Yay!
I'm so glad everyone liked them.. that's always a good feeling. :D
Beautiful Bostini!

Oh no! Custard powder and milk is not enough...unless you are making Nanaimo Bars.
