Perfecting Boston Creme Pie Squares: Tips for a Flawless Custard Filling

In summary, a Boston Creme Pie Square is a delectable dessert consisting of layers of yellow cake, custard filling, and a chocolate glaze. It is essentially a smaller version of the traditional Boston Cream Pie. To store, it should be kept in an airtight container in the fridge and can be made in advance, but it's best to add the glaze before serving. Variations include using different types of cake, filling, and toppings.

I made these earlier today for lunch tomorrow. As of right now, it has not completely set up. I know I followed the recipe to a T but the only thing I could think of was even though I left the custard in the Double Broiler for as long as it said, it was "thicK" but was thicker than what is was. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
I have never made these so I can not be of help. They sure do sound YUMMY!
