Make the Ganache:
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan or microwave until it just begins to simmer.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Assemble the Cupcakes:
Use a knife or cupcake corer to remove a small section from the center of each cupcake.
Fill the hole with chilled pastry cream.
Spoon or drizzle the chocolate ganache over the top of each cupcake, letting it slightly drip down the sides.
These Boston Cream Cupcakes are the perfect handheld version of the classic dessert—creamy, chocolaty, and utterly indulgent! 🍫🧁
