Ingredients

crepes -

  • 3.5 cups whole milk
  • 8 large eggs
  • 6 Tbsp extra light olive oil
  • 6 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour measured then sifted
  • oil or butter greasing pan

cream -

  • 12 oz cream cheese room temp (1 package)
  • 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese room temp
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 Tbsp espresso or 1 Tbsp instant coffee diluted in ½ tsp hot water
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 2 Tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Mix the milk, eggs, oil, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Sift the flour into the liquid mixture and run the batter through a sieve to remove clumps.
  • Grease a skillet with oil or butter and heat the skillet to medium-high. Add ¼ cup of batter to the pan and swirl quickly to distribute the batter evenly.
  • Lift the edges once the crepe is golden and the corners are cooked.
  • Flip the crepe and cook until the other side is golden.
  • Remove the crepe from the pan and repeat steps 4-7 until all the batter is used.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, mascarpone, espresso and vanilla for 2 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until medium peaks form.
  • Fold the heavy cream into the beaten cream cheese mixture. Chill in the fridge until the cream is ready to use.
  • Add some cream to the cake platter and place the first crepe. Cover with a layer of cream and dust with cocoa powder every other crepe. Continue until all crepes and cream are used. Decorate as desired and dust with cocoa on top.
  • Chill in the fridge tightly covered at least 4 hours.
  • Serve and enjoy, friends.

Notes

  • Run the crepe batter through a blender to get a silky consistency with no clumps.
  • Keep the crepe cake covered as you cook so that the edges of the crepes don’t become dry.
  • Resting the cake is essential to allow for all the flavors to come together.
  • Use a springform pan to give the crepe cake a beautiful shape.
