Instructions
Crepe Batter (Two Methods):
Mixing Bowl:
- Whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Add flour and mix until smooth.
- Melt butter, stir it in. Strain batter through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl.
- (Optional): Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight.
Blender (Easiest):
- Add wet ingredients first, then dry, and finally melted butter.
- Blend just until combined. Strain into a bowl and chill.
Cooking Crepes:
- Heat a non-stick or crepe pan over medium heat, lightly butter it, and pour in ¼ cup batter. Swirl to coat pan.
- Flip when the top looks dry and matte, cook other side 20–30 seconds. Transfer to a flat surface and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining batter.
Mango Filling:
- Blend mango until smooth.
- Whisk mango puree, sugar, and eggs in a bowl. Cook in a saucepan with lime rind, stirring constantly until it boils.
- Remove from heat, stir in butter, strain, and cool over ice bath.
- Whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks, fold in cooled mango curd.
- Refrigerate until needed.
Assembly:
- Layer crepes with ~¼ cup of mango cream filling, spreading evenly. Continue stacking until all crepes are used.
- Top with extra whipped filling, mango slices, florals (optional), and dust with icing sugar. Chill for at least 2 hours to set before cutting.
- Store in an airtight container to keep fresh.
Notes
I highly recommend reading the blog for more detailed instructions and photos before making.
This crepe cake recipe makes about 30 9-inch crepes. It will all depend on how thick your crepes are how big your crepes are in diameter. You can half the entire recipe to make a small crepe cake.
Crepe Cake Variations:
- Mango pastry cream folded into the whipped cream
- Add fresh mango slices cut thinly and add it to a few of the crepe layers inside.
- A coconut cream whipped filling pairs so well with mangos
- Make extra mango curd and alternate it with the layers of mango whipped cream
