Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300 g) plain (all-purpose) flour
- 4 eggs
- 3 cups (750 ml) full-cream (whole) milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
- 3 gelatine leaves
- 1 kg (2 lb 3 oz) store-bought custard
- 200 g (7 oz) white chocolate, broken into squares
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1/2 cup (30 g) toasted coconut
- 1 1/2 cups (150 g) crushed store-bought meringue
- 1/4 cup (60 g) fresh passionfruit pulp (about 4 passionfruit)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Make a well in the flour and gradually pour in the wet mixture while whisking until smooth and slightly runny. Rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Soak gelatine leaves in cold water. Warm custard in a saucepan over medium heat, then add white chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Squeeze water from softened gelatine and stir into the warm mixture until dissolved. Transfer to a container and refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
- Heat a non-stick pan (22–26 cm) over medium heat. Lightly brush with butter and pour in about 1/4 cup of batter, swirling to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute per side until lightly golden. Repeat to make about 15 crepes, brushing the pan as needed. Cool completely.
- Place one crepe on a serving plate and spread 2 tbsp of white chocolate filling evenly over it. Continue layering crepes and filling, finishing with a crepe on top. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
- Spread whipped cream over the top. Garnish with toasted coconut, crushed meringue, and fresh passionfruit pulp. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Best served immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
