I loved the Boston Cream Pie Cake From Violet Sweet Shoppe when the shop was in Seattle. All the varieties of cakes and pies, consistent and delicious are harder to find now in this big city of Seattle, since they closed. So when I want some of that Boston cream pie, I make this pudding parfait.

Creamy, almondy, Chocolatey. Add a layer of vegan sponge cake for the pie cake version. Less work, and satisfies that sweet tooth.

Make the pudding with starch, almond extract and cashew milk. Melt some chocolate with some non dairy milk. Layer, garnish and serve. Quick and easy surprise for valentines day. Depending on your preference of pudding to chocolate ratios, add thick or thin layers. Add some beet juice to the vanilla almond pudding for color. Top with granola or whipped coconut cream.

The Cream pudding layer is like a custard that thickens slightly on chilling. The filling is custard like because of the cashew milk, starch and flour combination. If you use other non dairy milk or change the other ingredients, you might need additional starch or flour or both to thicken to desired consistency. Adjust to preference.
