Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Cream:
    1. For the chocolate ganache, gently heat Light Cream A and dark chocolate together either over low heat or a warm water bath until smooth and fully combined.
    2. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
    3. In a separate bowl, whip Light Cream B with sugar and vanilla paste until it reaches a yogurt-like consistency.
    4. Fold in a generous spoonful of the cooled chocolate ganache until combined.
    5. Transfer to a piping bag and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Chocolate Crepes:
    1. Whisk the eggs and sugar together until smooth.
    2. Gradually incorporate the flour, cocoa powder, butter, and a portion of the milk until well-combined.
    3. Add in the remaining milk and whisk until smooth.
    4. Sieve the mixture to ensure a smooth batter.
    5. Over medium-low heat, ladle a portion of the batter into a non-stick pan, allowing it to spread thinly and bubble.
    6. Once cooked, transfer to a plate to cool and repeat with the remaining batter.
  3. Assemble the Crepe Cake:
    1. Lay a crepe flat on a serving dish. Pipe a thin layer of chocolate cream over it.
    2. Place another crepe on top and repeat the process until all crepes are stacked.
    3. Gently press and roll tightly to form a cake structure.
    4. Refrigerate for 2 hours to set.
  4. For the Chocolate Topping:
    1. In a heatproof bowl, combine dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt them together using a warm water bath or low heat.
