Tiramisu Crepe Cake
Description
This Tiramisu Crepe Cake combines thin 8-inch crepes layered with a creamy filling made from softened cream cheese, condensed milk, espresso shot, and whipped heavy cream. The interplay between the rich cream cheese mixture and the bitterness of espresso creates a distinct tiramisu flavor. Cocoa powder is dusted between layers to add a chocolate component that complements the coffee notes.
Preparation involves stacking crepes in a springform pan lined with plastic wrap, alternated with the creamy mixture and dustings of cocoa powder until ingredients are used up. Resting the cake for at least 24 hours allows the layers to meld and the texture to firm up. After unmolding, the cake is frosted with reserved whipped cream and an additional cocoa dusting for a finished look.
This dessert is best served chilled and sliced, offering delicate layers with a balance of creamy, sweet, and coffee-infused tastes. It suits occasions where a layered cake style dessert with an Italian coffee flavor influence is desired.
Ingredients
- 30 crepes double the recipe
- 24 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream very cold
- 1/3 cup espresso shot
- 1 cup condensed milk
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare crepes according to recipe instructions. (8 inch in size works perfect for this recipe)
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, condesed milk and espresso. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add heavy whipping cream and whisk until the cream is fluffy. Keep an eye on the mixture as it mixes since iit can turn lumpy. Set aside 2 cups of cream for frosting the outside of the cake. I suggest refrigerating it in a sealed container.
- Use a springform pan as a mold. Place a piece of plastic wrap on the bottom. Start with a crepe, spread cream and follow with a dusting of cocoa powder. Repeat until you run out of cream and crepes.
- Let it rest for at least 24 hours. Flip the cake with a bottom side up. Remove the sides.
- Cover the cake with the cream you set aside for frosting.
- Sprinkle some cocoa powder on top. Enjoy!
