Description
Indulge in layers of delicate crêpes filled with a spiced cream that balances the warmth of vanilla and the sweetness of speculoos. This Vanilla & Speculoos Crêpe Cake is an elegant dessert perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Eggs
- Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- Water
- Melted butter
- Vanilla extract
- Salt
- Heavy cream
- Mascarpone or cream cheese (optional)
- Speculoos spread (cookie butter)
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, water, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually combine with the dry ingredients until smooth.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, swirling to create a thin layer. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until golden. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crêpes.
- For the filling, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in mascarpone or cream cheese (if using), speculoos spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- To assemble, spread a layer of the cream filling between each crêpe layer. Continue layering until all crêpes and cream are used.
- Chill the crêpe cake in the refrigerator for at least one hour to set. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
This dessert can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Choosing a high-quality speculoos spread enhances the flavor.
