Boston Cream, A Slice of Pie

Rolla, Missouri

This tiny pie place in Rolla (off I-44 about two hours west of St. Louis), serves a Boston cream pie that’s actually a cross between cake and pie. Two pieces of vanilla cake topped with chocolate frosting serve as the “crust” for a filling of homemade vanilla pudding. If that sounds a bit rich for your taste, try the pumpkin pie topped with a dollop of homemade whipped cream.
