Ingredients:
Blueberry Cream Filling:
- Blueberries: 200g
- Sugar (A): 45g
- Cornstarch: 5g
- Lemon juice: from half a lemon
- Cream cheese: 220g
- Sugar (B): 25g
- Whipping cream: 370g
- Blueberry jam: 100g (from the freshly made jam)
Crepes:
- Eggs: 2
- Sugar: 30g
- Low gluten flour: 120g
- Bamboo charcoal powder: 6g (for color)
- Milk: 280g
- Melted butter: 35g
Instructions:
For the Blueberry Cream Filling:
- Rinse the blueberries and combine them with Sugar (A) in a saucepan.
- Cook over low heat until it thickens.
- Stir in the cornstarch and lemon juice, mixing until well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool. This mixture will serve as your blueberry jam.
- In a separate bowl, whip together the cream cheese and Sugar (B) until smooth.
- Add the whipping cream and 100g of the prepared blueberry jam. Whip until it reaches a yogurt-like consistency and transfer to a piping bag.
For the Crepes:
- Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a bowl.
- Gradually sift in the low-gluten flour and bamboo charcoal powder.
- Pour in the milk and melted butter, combining until the batter is smooth.
- Strain the mixture twice and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Over low heat, preheat a non-stick square pan. Pour a scoop of batter into the pan, spreading it thinly. Remove any excess batter.
- Once bubbles appear, gently lift the crepe from the pan and let it cool. Repeat this process until all the batter is used.
- Once all the crepes are prepared, trim the edges to form rectangles.
Assembly:
- Begin with a rectangular sponge cake as the base. Alternatively, you can spread some cream on a cake stand and place a crepe over it.
- Pipe a layer of blueberry cream filling on the crepe, spread it evenly, then place another crepe on top.
- Continue this layering process until all crepes are used.
- Frost the outside of the stacked crepes with the remaining cream.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours to allow the layers to set.
- Finish by drizzling the remaining blueberry jam over the top and garnishing with fresh blueberries. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
