  • Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

– 3 cups all-purpose flour

– 1/4 cup (50g) taro bubble tea powder

– 3/4 teaspoon salt

– 2 1/4 cups milk

– 6 large eggs

– 1/3 cup melted butter

– Oil or butter for greasing the pan

– 2 cups heavy cream (whipping cream)

– 1/4 cup (50g) taro powder

– 1/4 cup powdered sugar

– Maple syrup or any regular crepe or pancake toppings for serving

Instructions

1-First Step: Prepare the Batter Start by gathering all your ingredients for the crepe batter. Blend 3 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup (50g) taro bubble tea powder, 2 1/4 cups milk, 6 large eggs, and 1/3 cup melted butter in a blender on medium-high speed for about one minute until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.

2-Second Step: Rest the Batter Once blended, cover the batter and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least one hour or up to overnight. This step is crucial as it allows the flour to hydrate and removes air bubbles, leading to smoother crepes. Here is a quick table to reference resting times and their benefits:

3-Third Step: Cook the Crepes Heat a 10-inch non-stick pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, quickly swirling it to form a thin, even layer. Cook for about one minute until the bottom browns, then flip it briefly and cook for another few seconds before transferring to a plate. Repeat this process to make 15-18 crepes, which should take around 30 minutes total. Let the crepes cool in the refrigerator.

4-Fourth Step: Make the Taro Cream Filling In a mixing bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream, 1/4 cup (50g) taro powder, and 1/4 cup powdered sugar on high speed for 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form. This creates a fluffy filling that holds the cake together. For a fresh taro variation, you can steam diced taro for 20-30 minutes and mix it with sweetened condensed milk, though the powder method is quicker.

5-Fifth Step: Assemble the Cake Begin layering by placing one cooled crepe on a plate and spreading a small amount of the taro cream filling evenly over it. Add another crepe on top and repeat the process about 15 times to build the cake. Once assembled, refrigerate the cake for at least one hour to set the layers.

6-Final Step: Serve and Enjoy After chilling, slice the cake with a sharp knife for clean cuts, and serve it with maple syrup or your favorite toppings. This step allows the flavors to meld, making each bite of Taro Mille Crepe Cake even more enjoyable. For more recipe ideas, check out our best mojito recipe on the blog.

Notes

🫐 Rest the batter for at least an hour to develop the best textureβ€”overnight yields even softer, more flavorful crepes without air bubbles.
πŸ₯„ Use taro bubble tea powder for authentic purple hue and nutty taste; if using fresh taro, steam and puree it separately for the filling.
πŸ”ͺ Patience is key when cooking crepesβ€”one per minute; a well-seasoned non-stick pan prevents sticking and tears for perfect layers.
