This Lemon Drizzle Mille Crêpe Cake is made with 12 layers of sweet crêpes, creamy, lemony filling, and sweetly sharp lemon drizzle. Easy to make with just a few simple ingredients, this mille crêpe cake makes for the perfect showstopper centerpiece to fit any occasion.
To start off this recipe, make the crêpe batter. If you have the time, let the batter rest for about 30 minutes, or else start cooking right away. Cook 12 thin crêpes. Next, whip the heavy cream, mascarpone, and sugar together until soft peaks form. Assemble the cake by alternating the crêpes and filling. Once assembled, chill the cake for at least 1 hour or overnight, allowing time for the flavors to meld together. Garnish with lemon slices and sprinkle with lemon zest. Slice, eat, and enjoy!
To make the Lemon Drizzle Mille Crêpe Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together 100 grams all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 300 milliliters milk, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and a pinch of salt until a smooth batter forms.
Set aside for 30 mins to rest.
Heat a 6-inch nonstick pan over medium high heat. Grease the pan with a little bit of butter.
Cook each crêpe for 1 min on each side until golden. Continue adding little knobs of butter to the pan and repeat the process until you have 12 total crêpes.
Use a handheld mixer to whip together 250 grams mascarpone, 250 milliliters heavy cream, 50 grams sugar, and zest of 1 lemon until soft peaks form and the filling is still spreadable.
Layer the crêpes with 2-3 tablespoons of the filling, spreading it evenly to the edges. Alternate between filling and crêpes, finishing with a layer of filling. Place in the fridge to set for 1 hour, or leave overnight.
Meanwhile, make the lemon drizzle. In a saucepan, combine 115 grams caster sugar, juice of 2 lemons, and 100 milliliters water. Slowly boil, while stirring, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened. Set aside to cool.
Serve mille crêpe cake drizzled with lemon syrup and garnished with lemon slices and lemon zest. Slice and enjoy!
