Instructions:
For the Cream Filling:
- In a saucepan, combine whipping cream and Thai black tea. Heat on medium until it comes to a boil.
- Stir in the white chocolate until fully melted.
- Turn off the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 3 minutes.
- Strain the mixture twice to ensure smoothness.
- Refrigerate the strained mixture for at least 8 hours.
- After chilling, add sugar to the cream and whip until it achieves a yogurt-like consistency. Transfer to a piping bag for easy application.
For the Crepes:
- In a pot, combine milk and Thai black tea. Heat on medium until simmering. Turn off the heat and strain to remove tea leaves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with sugar. Gradually add the cake flour, stirring continuously.
- Slowly incorporate the milk and Thai tea mixture.
- Stir in the melted unsalted butter until well combined.
- Strain the batter to ensure a smooth texture.
- Preheat a non-stick pan on low heat. Pour a scoop of batter into the pan, swirling to spread thinly. Pour out any excess batter to maintain a delicate crepe.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface. Remove the crepe and let it cool.
- Use a 6-inch circle mold to shape the crepes uniformly.
Assembly:
- Begin by placing a crepe on a plate or cake stand.
- Pipe or spread a layer of the Thai tea cream over the surface.
- Place another crepe on top and repeat the process until all crepes are layered with cream.
- Once the layers are complete, smooth out the outer layer of cream for a polished look.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to set.
- Once set, decorate as desired and serve your decadent Thai Black Tea Crepe Cake!
