How to Make Boston Cream Cheese Pie

  1. Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Prepare 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix according to package directions.
  3. Pour batter evenly into the prepared springform pan.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract at medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  7. Blend in 1/2 cup sour cream.
  8. Carefully pour the cream cheese mixture over the baked cake layer.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, or until the center is just set.
  10. Let the pie cool completely in the pan before removing the sides of the springform pan.
  11. In the top of a double boiler (or a heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water), bring 1 cup of water to a simmer.
  12. Remove from heat.
  13. Add 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons margarine to the top of the double boiler. Stir until smooth and melted.
  14. Add 1 tablespoon of water, 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  15. Spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the cooled cheesecake.
  16. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to chill completely.
  17. Garnish with fresh strawberries before serving.
