Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 5 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 1/2 cups almond milk
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil, plus more for cooking
- 1 1/2 cans coconut milk (for mousse)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can coconut cream (for topping)
- Fresh fruits of choice (for topping)
- Chopped mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and baking powder. Gradually add almond milk and melted coconut oil, stirring until smooth. Let the batter rest for a few minutes or up to two hours.
- Heat a crêpe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, swirling to cover the surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another minute. Repeat with remaining batter.
- For the coconut chocolate mousse, refrigerate the coconut milk cans overnight. Scoop out the solidified cream into a bowl, leaving the liquid behind. Add cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fluffy.
- To assemble the cake, place one crêpe on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of coconut chocolate mousse over the crêpe. Repeat layering with remaining crêpes and mousse.
- For the topping, whip the coconut cream until soft peaks form. Spread over the top layer of the crêpe cake.
- Top with fresh fruits and sprinkle with chopped mint leaves. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Refrigerate the coconut milk overnight to separate the cream for the mousse. Use a non-stick crêpe pan for best results. The cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge. Garnish with seasonal fruits for a fresh touch.
