Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Matcha Crêpe Batter

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, matcha powder, sugar, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
• Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry, whisking until smooth.
• Strain the batter through a fine-mesh sieve to remove lumps.
• Cover and let the batter rest in the fridge for 1 hour (this helps create delicate crêpes).

Step 2: Cook the Matcha Crêpes

• Heat a nonstick skillet or crêpe pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter.
• Pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the surface evenly.
• Cook for 60-90 seconds, until the edges lift slightly, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
• Transfer to a plate and repeat until you have at least 20 crêpes. Let them cool completely.

Step 3: Make the Matcha Whipped Cream

• In a large bowl, sift in matcha powder and mix with powdered sugar.
• Pour in cold heavy cream and vanilla extract.
• Whip with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
• Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4: Assemble the Mille Crêpe Cake

• Place one crêpe on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of matcha whipped cream evenly over the top.
• Repeat, layering crêpes and cream until all crêpes are stacked.
• Smooth the edges with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 5: Decorate & Serve

• Before serving, sift matcha powder over the top.
  
• Optionally, garnish with white chocolate shavings or a drizzle.
• Slice with a sharp knife, wiping between cuts for clean layers.
