Instructions
Creating your very own Pastel de Crepas can be simple when you follow these organized steps:
1. Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Then blend until smooth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour a small amount of batter into the skillet, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges become golden. Flip and cook the other side for another minute. Continue until all batter is used.
3. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar to sweeten the cream, mixing gently until fully incorporated.
4. Assemble the Cake: On a serving plate, place one crepe down. Spread a layer of whipped cream over the crepe, then drizzle a layer of chocolate ganache. Repeat the layering process until all crepes and fillings are used, ensuring the final layer is whipped cream.
5. Chill the Cake: Once assembled, cover the cake with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours. This allows the crepes to absorb the filling and soften.
6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, add any desired toppings such as fresh fruits, chocolate shavings, or nuts for added flavor and decoration.
By following these straightforward instructions, you’ll create a beautifully layered Pastel de Crepas that is sure to impress.
