How To Make Tiramisu Crepe Cake

Make the crepe batter by whisking together all the ingredients. Allow chilling in the fridge while you prepare the filling. Whisk the filling ingredients until fluffy and smooth, cover, and store in the fridge. Cook the crepes until all the crepe batter is used.

Layer the crepes and filling in a cake tin and store them overnight in the fridge. Flip the cake over onto a cake stand and serve.

Tips

Instead of crepes, you can also use vanilla wafers, Oreo biscuits, or graham crackers.

For best results, use Philadelphia cream cheese and a high-quality mascarpone.

How To Store Tiramisu Crepe Cake

The Tiramisu Crepe Cake can be made a few days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 4 days. It is often best when served the following day.

Can You Freeze Tiramisu Crepe Cake?

The assembled cake (without the sprinkling of cocoa on top) can be frozen. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw in the fridge (overnight) and dust with cocoa powder just before serving.

Instructions

Break the eggs into a large mixing bowl and add the milk.

Add the remaining ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter.

Heat a 21cm crepe pan and wipe brush it with a bit of oil.

Pour a small amount of batter into the preheated pan, and swirl. Cook the pancake on one side until golden (about 2 minutes) then flip and cook the other side for one minute.

Continue until you’ve used up all the batter. Cover the crepes and set them aside while you make the filling.

Add all of the cream-filling ingredients into a mixing bowl and whisk on medium until they become a smooth fluffy cream.

Line a 9-inch springform cake pan with parchment paper, and then begin building your crepe cake. Place a crepe on the bottom, then add a layer of cream filling spread, and sprinkle with cocoa powder.

Repeat the layers until you’ve used all the crepes. Cover with plastic wrap (cling film) and refrigerate overnight.

When ready to serve, place a cake stand on the cake tin and flip it over.

Remove the cake tin and sprinkle with cocoa powder.

Notes

Instead of Amaretto, you can also use rum, Grand Marnier, and Kahlua. Skip the alcohol for a non-alcoholic version or use of espresso in its place.
