Jul 27, 2015 Not a pie at all, in fact, but an impossibly moist vanilla cake filled with cool, creamy vanilla pudding and topped with a chewy chocolate ganache. In other words, heaven. I like to be generous with the filling, so I carved a bit of a slanted well in the bottom layer to accomodate more cream. Pardon the hack job in the photo above, I had about 3 seconds to accomplish the task with 2-year-old vying for his turn to dig out a handful of cake. I really like the homey, lickably (that’s a word, right?) inviting look of desserts spilling over, but you could tidy up the presentation by using less filling (maybe two-thirds), and/or use an offset metal spatula run under hot water to smooth out the ganache topping.
