    This was the most complicated, time consuming thing I have ever made( and I make a lot! and I was planning on being wildly ecstatic about the results because of all the effort that went into it. I wasn't. I will keep the pastry cream recipe and the chocolate ganache was good, but the cake was dry and a little eggy tasting. I followed the instructions precisely. Next time I want boston cream pie, I might even used boxed cake... it is better than this one.

    The recipe takes the time stated if you begin timing once you are all set up and ready to go.This is soooooo good I almos can't describe it.
    Once you chill it after it's all put together(if you can wait that long it is absolutely fantastic cream ,cake and chocolate experience !!!!!

    Again, not much success with emeril's recipes. cake took more than twice as long as stated to bake & should tell readers that you need industrial bakeware to hold all this batter! Even though recipe is for a crowd, would be helpful to mention this! I used very large bowls but still not big enough, everything overflowing!

    The overall taste of this "pie" is outstanding...very rich/decadent. The recipe is somewhat complicated, even for an experienced baker. It also takes quite a while to make - longer than 30 minutes prep time, too. Hint (based on trial and error - make sure your top layers do not overhang the layer beneath it, or the ganache will not fully cover the sides. Absolutely delicious, and well worth making. You just can't buy something like this.
