Please palates this Thanksgiving with mini Boston cream pies in chocolate-covered Phyllo shells.

"When coming up with the recipe for mini Boston cream pies, I wanted something that was simple to make and used staple kitchen ingredients," Bernice Baran, the baker and blogger behind Baran Bakery tells Fox News. 

"I love that they can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you are ready to host guests or want dessert for your family," Baran continues. "Because they are mini, they are fun to eat and versatile. They are great for serving with coffee or tea, as dessert, or even a sweet treat in the middle of the day." 

THIS SNICKERDOODLE PUMPKIN PIE RECIPE IS A ‘DELICIOUS’ TWIST ON THE CLASSIC FALL DESSERT

NUTELLA CHEESECAKE BROWNIES ARE A ‘DANGEROUSLY’ DELICIOUS DESSERT: TRY THE RECIPE

Instructions:

1. Begin by making the custard, so it has time to cool. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and cornstarch until they're smooth.

2. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter into the milk. When the milk is simmering, slowly pour it into the egg mixture while whisking the eggs.

3. Return the whole mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, whisking continuously, until it begins to thicken.

4. Once it's thick and you see the first bubble, whisk over the heat for one more minute. Remove it from the heat, add the vanilla, and pour the custard back into the bowl, and cover the surface with plastic wrap and allow it to cool completely.

5. Bake the Athens Phyllo Shells at 400 °F for 5 minutes. While they're cooling, place the chocolate and coconut oil in a small bowl and microwave them for 15 seconds, 2-3 times, mixing in between, until the chocolate is smooth.

6. Dip the shells, tops or bottoms, into the chocolate. Place them with the chocolate upright until they set.

7. For the chocolate ganache, use another small bowl to melt the chocolate with the cream in the microwave for 15 seconds, 2-3 times, mixing in between until it's smooth. Cover the chocolate and let it set until it's pipe-able.

8. When the custard has cooled after about an hour, use a piping bag, fitted with your favorite tip, (or a spoon) to fill the shells. Pipe some chocolate ganache on top and dust with cocoa powder and/or powdered sugar. Mini Boston cream pies are best served slightly chilled.
