♥ Matcha Mille Crepe ♥

Crepe is a thin French pancake.

The French often serve them with sweet fillings such as fruits, custard and cream; or sometimes savoury versions known as galette, with egg, cheese and ham.

Whilst Mille Crepe is composed of numerous layers of crepe being stacked together with custard or cream in different flavors. It is a very popular patisserie in New York, particularly from the brand Lady M!

Can you see those 18 layers of crepe! Stunning!

This recipe is super easy to whip up in fact. Treat it as a completely lump free pancake batter. Toasty, moist and set together with a matcha flavored custard.  I also topped this individual serving crepe cake with some whipped cream for a creamy contrast!

3. Transfer the crepe to a plate to cool. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

2. In a bowl, mix together matcha powder and hot water. Add in Natvia and honey. Mix well.
3. Remove pastry cream from the fridge and combine with matcha mixture.

How to assemble and make matcha crepe cake:

1. Using a 2" cookie cutter, cut out circles from crepes. Place a mini crepe in 2" cake tin, spread a teaspoon of matcha pastry cream and cover with another crepe. Repeat the layers, leaving the top layer without cream. 
2. Place in the fridge to chill. When serve, dollop whipped cream and dust generously with matcha powder and powdered sugar.
