Intro
Anyone that has ever been to a conveyor belt Sushi place, or convenience store has surely been tempted by this delicious dessert. Mille Crepes actually originate from France, but as I have not been there yet, this Japanese Crepe cake has our heart!
Making a crepe cake is simple in terms of needed tools and ingredients, but takes a lot of time and some skill. (a great use of time for people enjoying quarantine to stay safe and healthy right now)
Steps:
1. Make Crepes
2. Cool Crepes and whip the cream.
3. Assemble the cake layer by layer in a bowl
4. Let the cake settle and cool for at least 2 hours in the fridge.
We first tried to make this around thanksgiving, when we first started dating, but we could not locate any whipping cream! We tried again at Christmas but again, the pie eating people did not allow us then. Finally, at the beginning of May, we have been able to make this, and we are so very happy about it.
We had started making a video, but it ended up taking longer than we expected, and as dinner also needed to be made, we had to give that portion a rain check. We plan on finishing the video next time we make one, we will decide based on the interest that we receive.
