Vol-au-vent-fillings/5 recipes

A show stopper of an apple custard pie recipe with tender apple halves baked in a luscious, creamy vanilla custard filling.

Made popular back in the 1960's by a bakery in Brooklyn. Chocoholics of all ages love this rich chocolate layer cake that uses a thick pudding instead of icing.

This very old recipe is famous for the artistic, decorative sculpture arranged on top. The picture in the cookbook has the upper outer edge circled with a braid of dough and cut-outs of ducks arranged flat on the top.
