Boston Cream Pie

mandagirl's Note:

I got this recipe from cooks.com at the request of a "pie like boston cream pie" from my son who's birthday we celebrated yesterday. He said he had it in a restaurant - I never knew it existed. It was very rich and delicious. The only thing I changed was to use extra virgin coconut oil for the crisco. I think salt free butter would be fine as well.
