Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Crepe Batter

Begin by whisking the eggs with sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Gradually add the milk and mix again.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Sift this mixture into the egg and milk mixture, and stir everything together until smooth.

Now, melt the butter and add it to the batter. Next, pour in the boiling water and mix until uniform.

Step 2

Cook the Crepes

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour a small ladle of batter into the skillet. Spread it evenly to create a thin layer.

Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the underside is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side. Repeat this process until you have about 14-15 crepes.

Step 3

Make the Cream Filling

In a bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy. This will be the filling for your cake.

You can also include slices of bananas or other fruits like berries if you choose, adding a delightful freshness to the cream.

Step 4

Assemble the Cake

Layer the crepes and cream filling alternately, creating a beautiful cake. Spread a layer of cream between each crepe, and stack them neatly.

For a finishing touch, you can garnish with more cocoa powder on top or additional fruits as desired.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Once assembled, your crepe cake is ready to be sliced. Serve it chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor.

Enjoy this delightful dessert with family and friends!
