Layered Crepe Dessert with Vanilla Cream and Caramel

A light stack of delicate crepes layered with vanilla whipped cream and rich caramel sauce, finished with a dusting of cocoa powder.

Ingredients

For the Crepes

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Cream Filling

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Caramel Sauce

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

For Assembly

  • Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crepe Batter

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs until combined.
  2. Slowly pour in the milk and water while whisking, mixing until the batter is smooth.
  3. Add the salt and melted butter, then continue whisking until the mixture is completely lump-free and silky.

2. Cook the Crepes

  1. Lightly oil a nonstick skillet or griddle and place it over medium-high heat.
  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan for each crepe.
  3. Immediately tilt and rotate the pan in a circular motion so the batter spreads into a thin, even layer.
  4. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the underside is lightly golden.
  5. Gently loosen the edges with a spatula, flip, and cook the second side for another 30–60 seconds.
  6. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go. Let them cool to room temperature.

3. Make the Vanilla Cream Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
  2. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form and the cream holds its shape.
  3. Set the whipped cream aside in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.

4. Prepare the Caramel Sauce

  1. Place the granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Allow the sugar to melt, stirring occasionally, until it turns a deep golden-amber color.
  3. Add the butter and stir until fully melted and combined.
  4. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuously stirring (the mixture will bubble vigorously).
  5. Let the sauce simmer for about 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  6. Allow the caramel to cool slightly so it thickens but is still pourable.

5. Assemble the Layered Dessert

  1. Put one crepe on a serving plate or cake stand.
  2. Spread a thin, even layer of the whipped cream over the crepe.
  3. Drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce on top of the cream.
  4. Place another crepe over the caramel layer and repeat the process: cream, caramel, then another crepe.
  5. Continue layering until all the crepes are used, finishing with a layer of cream on the very top.

6. Finish and Chill

  1. Lightly dust the top layer of cream with cocoa powder.
  2. Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to set and the flavors to blend.

7. Serve

  • Slice the chilled crepe cake into wedges and serve cold.
  • Enjoy your elegant layered cream and caramel crepe dessert!
