• Sugar: 20g
• Coconut milk powder: 20g

Instructions:

For the Ganache:

1. In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate with the light cream over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave.
2. Once combined, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours to thicken.

For the Crepes:

1. Whisk together eggs and sugar in a large bowl.
2. Gradually add the flour, ensuring no lumps form.
3. Stir in melted butter, milk, and coconut milk.
4. Divide the batter, leaving one part plain. Incorporate varying amounts of the butterfly pea powder to the divided portions, creating a gradient of five different shades.
5. Preheat a non-stick pan on low heat. Pour a ladleful of batter and swirl to form a thin crepe.
6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then transfer to a plate to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter shades.

For the Filling:

1. Beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.
2. Mix in the coconut milk powder and a spoonful of the prepared ganache.
3. Gradually add the light cream, combining until smooth.
4. Stir in the butterfly pea powder for a hint of color and flavor.

Assembly:

1. Lay out your first crepe and pipe or spread an even layer of the filling onto it.
2. Place another crepe on top and repeat, creating a stack of alternating crepe shades and creamy filling.
3. Once all crepes are layered, wrap the cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for two hours to set.
4. Once set, spread a layer of the remaining cream over the top and generously sprinkle with shredded coconut for a tropical touch.

Enjoy a slice of this heavenly concoction and savor the fusion of rich coconut and the magic of butterfly pea.
