Ingredients
Scale
Crêpes
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp melted butter, plus more for the pan
- 1–2 tbsp sugar
- Pinch salt
- Optional: 1–2 tsp cornstarch or custard powder
Filling
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 2–3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
Optional Sauce
- 1 large mango (ripe), blended
- 1–2 tbsp orange juice
- 1–2 tsp powdered sugar (to taste)
Instructions
- Blend the batter: Combine eggs, milk, flour, butter, sugar, salt, and optional cornstarch/custard powder. Blend or whisk until smooth. Strain into a pitcher and rest 20–30 minutes.
- Cook crêpes: Heat a lightly greased nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Pour ~¼ cup batter, swirl thin. Cook until edges look set; flip and cook 10–20 seconds. Stack with parchment.
- Whip cream: Beat cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to stiff peaks; keep cold.
- Prep mango: Peel, slice cheeks, and cut evenly.
- Assemble:
- Rolls: Cream down the center + mango slices → roll and dust.
- Pillows: Cream in center + thick mango → fold into a square; chill seam-side down.
- Crêpe cake: Alternate crêpe, thin cream, and mango purée in layers; chill and slice.
- Finish: Garnish with mango sauce, powdered sugar, mint, toasted coconut, or almonds.
Notes
- Batter too thick? Whisk in tiny splashes of milk.
- First crêpe “sacrificial”? Totally normal—adjust the heat and keep going.
- For neat halves, chill the pillows 30–60 minutes before slicing.
