INGREDIENTS
Crepes:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Blueberry-Infused Whipped Cream:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp sugar (for blueberry reduction)
Topping:
- Fresh blueberries and blackberries for garnish
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Crepes ( Can also buy from Fosters )
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs.
- Gradually add in the milk and water, whisking to combine.
- Add the melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, whisk until smooth.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet. Swirl the pan to spread the batter thinly.
- Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Repeat until all the batter is used, stacking the crepes on a plate with parchment paper between them to prevent sticking. Let cool.
Step 2: Make the Blueberry-Infused Whipped Cream
- In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries and 1 tbsp of sugar over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juice and start to break down (about 5-7 minutes). Mash lightly with a spoon.
- Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove the skins, and let the blueberry reduction cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. ( Reserve 2 cups of regular whipped cream for topping the cake )
- Gently fold in the cooled blueberry reduction, creating a light purple hue and blueberry flavor in the whipped cream.
Step 3: Assemble the Crepe Cake
- Place one crepe on a serving platter.
- Spread a thin layer of blueberry-infused whipped cream over the crepe.
- Place another crepe on top and repeat the process, layering crepes and whipped cream until all the crepes are stacked.
- Finish with a crepe on top.
Step 4: Decorate and Serve
- Top the cake with fresh blueberries and blackberries.
- Optionally dust with powdered sugar.
- Refrigerate the cake for 1-2 hours to set before slicing.
Enjoy!
