Taro Mille Crepe Cake
This Taro Mille Crepe Cake is very beautiful and tasty, but it is time-consuming to make. Even if you are a master at making crepes, you have to make a lot of them so it will take up a good chunk of time. The taro flavor comes from taro bubble tea powder which you can buy at most Asian markets.
Ingredients
Crepes
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup taro bubble tea powder (50g)
- ¾ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 2 ¼ cups milk
- 6 large eggs
- ⅓ cup melted butter
Taro Cream
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup taro bubble tea powder (50g)
- ¼ cup confectioner's (powdered) sugar
Instructions
Crepes
- Add the flour, salt, taro powder, milk, eggs, and melted butter to a blender cup. Blend on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Leave the lid on and allow it to rest for at least one hour and up to overnight in the fridge.
- Heat a 10-inch non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Use a paper towel to wipe the bottom with a bit of oil (or butter). Pour ⅓ cup of batter into the pan, pick it up, and immediately swirl it in a circle to cover the pan in a thin layer. Cook the crepe for about 1 minute until the bottom begins to brown. Use a spatula to flip it over and cook briefly on the other side, then transfer it to a plate.
- Repeat until the remaining batter is cooked. You should end up with around 15-18 crepes. Allow the crepes to cool in the refrigerator until cool to the touch.
Taro Cream
- Add the heavy cream, taro powder, and powdered sugar to a mixing bowl and beat on high for 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form.
Assemble
- To assemble the cake, place one crepe on a large plate or cake stand. Put a small amount of cream in the center, then use an offset or icing spatula to spread it evenly across the crepe. Repeat these layers 15 times. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then slice and serve!
