Boston Cream Pie Waffles with Dairy-Free Pastry Cream and Chocolate Sauce
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Sarena uses almond milk beverage in both the pastry cream and the chocolate sauce, but you can swap in another milk beverage, if needed. But I do not recommend using a milk beverage with added protein. Please note that the Prep and Cook times in this recipe do not include the waffle preparation.

Serves: 1 cup pastry cream (about 6 servings)
Ingredients
Dairy-free Waffles (store-bought or homemade, see post above)
Place the milk beverage in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring it to a boil, then remove it from the heat.
Add the egg yolks and sugar to a mixing bowl and whisk until fluffy and pale yellow. Add the starch and whisk until there are no lumps.
Whisk a little bit of the hot milk beverage into the egg mixture until thoroughly combined. Slowly pour the rest of the milk into the egg mixture while whisking.
Pour the egg mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, while whisking, until it just reaches a boil and has thickened. Remove it from the heat and stir in the stevia.
Pour the pastry cream into a container and cover the surface with lightly greased plastic wrap. Let it cool.
Once cool, the pastry cream can be used immediately. If you are making the pastry cream ahead, refrigerate it and remove it about an hour before using.
Chocolate Sauce
Place the chocolate chips and milk beverage in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on high for 35 seconds and stir to combine.
If not melted, heat in 15 second intervals, stirring well in between, just until melted. Do not overheat the chocolate, it will scorch.
Waffle Assembly
Plate the waffles. Generously dollop them with the dairy-free pastry cream and drizzle with the chocolate sauce, to serve.
