October 23rd is National Boston Cream Pie Day! You don’t have to be in New England to enjoy this delicious treat! Boston cream pie originated when a French chef named Sanzian whipped it up in 1856 at the Parker House Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts. It was enjoyed by Bostonians for more than a century, and in 1996, Boston cream pie became the official dessert of Massachusetts in a bill sponsored by Norton High School. This bill defeated both Indian Pudding and Toll House cookies as the state's official dessert.
Although it is called a pie,
. It consists of two round layers of sponge cake with a thick vanilla custard filling. Today, you can find Boston cream pie as a popular doughnut and ice cream flavor.
