Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) flour
- 5 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 1/2 cups (600 ml) almond milk
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil, plus more for cooking
- 1 1/2 cans coconut milk (for mousse)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
- 1 tsp 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.
