A quick sweet treat to have your friends foaming at the mouth for another bite… but you don’t have to share this easy recipe if you don’t want to, just keep them coming back for more and keep the secret ingredients to yourself.
It’s more than just a great way to keep them coming back. It’s a great excuse to visit friends. I have a gay friend who, for the life of him, cannot stay on his diet, especially when I bring even a whiff of this easy-peasy Boston Cream Pie around him. Normally, people would discourage me from ruining a poor man’s attempt at a simple diet. But his boyfriend and roommates are far from complaining as long as I share a slice or two with them!
I would go so far as to say to bookmark this recipe to give a lover on St. Valentine’s day. They always say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach! Did you know St. Valentine’s day came from a fertility festival in Roman times? They would slap women and crops with goat hides for luck with fertility.
Or did you know that in “an effort to ‘Christianize’ the pagan celebration of Lupercalia,” the holiday was taken over by the Christian church and didn’t really become associated with love until the Medieval times because of it’s connection to the birds mating season? It’s made one heck of a leap. From mating and fertility to chocolates and cards.
This is also a great crying sweet. Some people, myself included, have a way with finding men or women who hurt me right in the chest. Studies show that over 50% of people admit “that they tend to use food (especially junk food)” in cases of severe emotional distress.
In some cases, it’s the way to his heart, and some it’s the chocolate that welds yours back together. I can attest that this recipe is great for cheering up. The chocolate isn’t overly weak and the crust adds just the right melty crunch.
The subtle taste of the cream filling is tasty, but not painfully sweet for those with an affinity for a more calming palate of flavor like some traditional Italian pastries but with the added POW of sweet chocolate use sugar-crazed Americans love.
