Yield: 4 Serving

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

Mille Nutella Crepe Cake-It is an elegant French cake made of paper thin crepes and separated by chocolate, Nutella cheese filling.

This cake is so impressive to serve, easy to make and so much fun to eat

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups flour (all purpose)
5 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk
1 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Nutella Cheese Filling
8 oz cream cheese (Philadelphia)
1/8 cup icing sugar
1 1/2 cups Nutella
3/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Making Crepes

Mix all ingredients using the best and only KitchenAid mixer (or your favorite one)

Yes, this step is simple. Add flour, eggs, milk, water, salt and vanilla into mixing bowl and mix until smooth.

I will repeat: Be sure that all ingredients are mixed well. (BE SURE BATTER IS LUMP-FREE)

Next step is to heat and grease the pan. ( I used very small one, 5 inches.)

Grease the pan using 1/2 tsp of oil.

Heat 5 inch pan until hot.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan.

Swirl it to spread the batter evenly over the bottom.

Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the crepe is golden on the bottom.

Flip crepe and cook for another 10 seconds. Remove from pan and place on a plate as you go.

Be sure to cover cooked crepes with aluminum foil to keep them from drying out.

Repeat this process until no more batter remains.

For this recipe I used 17 crepes...you can make as high as you wanted.

Nutella Cheese Filling for Crepe Cake

Mix cream cheese and sugar until smooth.

Add Nutella and mix until incorporated. Set aside.

In another bowl mix heavy cream.

Add heavy cream to Nutella cheese mixture and mix until smooth. (not for long just for a minute or less)

Before you start assemble be sure:
Crepes are cooled

Nutella Cheese Filling is done

Assemble of MILLE Nutella Crepe Cake

Line 6 inch round pan with plastic wrap. See the picture below:

Place the crepe at the bottom of the pan.

Spread Nutella filling evenly over the surface of the crepe.

Add second crepe on top of Nutella filling, positioning it so the edges of the crepes align. (the best you can)

Then add filling on top of second crepe and keep going until you used all crepes you have.

IMPORTANT: As you add layers the cake may become doomed in the center. Just press down on the center of the cake with your fingers.

Carefully wrap the cake in plastic wrap and chill overnight. (from 6 hours to 24 hours)

The filling will set up and the cake will have more structure.

To Serve:

Cover the cake with chocolate icing or icing sugar.

Cut the cake in half and then into desired sizes.

Serve with whip cream, favorite fruits, melted or shaved chocolate.

So, what is so important for crepe cake?

Just a little time and PATIENCE.

Yes, the patience is very important to make the best Mille Nutella Crepe Cake.

But it is worth it.

So, what did I learn about this recipe?

This cake was made by Greer Worsley. She made this recipe based on the famous magic cake that separates in the oven into three layers. Then I google famous magic cake, found Chocolate Magic Cake and now my mind is spinning 360 above and beyond of many possibilities that I can make and try. See, this is the baking magic for all of us. Start healing with baking.

I made cake based on name and then I discovered there is more like: Australia’s Best Recipes, famous chef from there Greg Worsley, famous magic cake on google that I never heard of and want to try and so much more. Because we are all here to help each other and not just survive but to thrive in this magic life. And from Australia to Canada we are all connected. BTW, now more than ever we must share and be kind to each other. So, thank you Greer for your recipe. I hope you don’t mind that I adopted your cake and it is living another life in Canada and North America.

Caster Sugar – if you can’t find it in your country please use the regular white sugar. It will work.

HISTORY OF CARROT CAKE

The origins of carrot cake are disputed. Published in 1591, there is an English recipe “pudding in a Carret(sic) root” that is a stuffed carrot with meat, but includes elements of modern dessert like shortening, cream, eggs,raisins, sweetener (dates and sugar), spices, scraped carrot and breadcrumbs.

Of course you can believe it is France because former chef to Lous XVI, included recipe for a “Gâteau de Carottes”. So the question is which country invented the carrot cake. Is it England, France or Switzerland…Yes, there is third country in this game. To learn more visit WIKIPEDIA and educate yourself.

ACTION TIME

MAKING OREO BREAKFAST CREPES

Ingredients

1 cup flour (all purpose)

3 eggs

1 cup milk (2%)

1 1/4 cup water

1/8 tsp salt

Oreo cookies

Fillings for Crepes: Nutella, Raspberry Jam, Whip Cream

Instructions

Add the following ingredients to mixing bowl:

eggs, flour, water, milk and salt.

Your next step is to mix using the cage attachment until smooth.

Then let the batter rest for 5 minutes or up to 24 hours in the fridge.

When you are ready to make the crepes check the batter’s consistency.

It should be as thick as heavy cream.

Then heat and grease the pan. I used 5 inch

Grease the pan using 1/2 tsp of oil.

Heat 5 inch pan until hot.

Place one Oreo cookie in the middle of the pan.

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter around the Oreo cookie.

Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the crepe is golden on the bottom.

Flipping the Oreo Crepes

Then use the knife, spatula to lift the crepe and quickly flip it over.

Important: Be sure that knife goes under the Oreos before flipping.

Cook the second side for about 1/2 minute or until golden.

Slide the crepe to your favorite large plate.

Repeat with the remaining batter.

Storage of Crepes

To store wrap cooled crepes in plastic wrap then into a large zip-top freezer bag.

Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

If you want to store in the freezer no longer than 3 months.

Finishing Crepes

Fill each crepe with the filling of your choice.

Since you have Oreo in the middle you will have to work around it.

Spread Nutella around the Oreo, say thank you and rolled into cylinder or something similar to it.

Remember, all rolling is done around the big boss in the middle Oreo.

Repeat until done.

Another option is with the raspberry jam and heavy cream. Check the pictures below:

Enjoy and share.

Final Note

See how easy it is to make crepes.

Super easy! And so much fun when you add Oreos.

In case you want to add more than one Oreo when making crepes…don’t do it.

I tried adding 3 and it was hard to flip the crepe. My best advice is to use one Oreo cookie.

However, I tried with 2 and it did work. So, yes you can make with 2 Oreo cookies. See the picture below.
