Ingredients:

• 120g all-purpose flour or cake flour
• 3-4 durian segments
• 2 eggs
• 380ml unsweetened fresh milk
• 200ml whipping cream
• 100g white sugar

  • Pour in the fresh milk and melted butter, then whisk until smooth.
  • Let the batter rest for 20-30 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator.
  • While waiting, prepare the durian by mashing it into a smooth paste for the filling.
• Cook the crepes:
  • Remove the batter from the fridge. If it thickened too much, it's ready to use.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. You may brush the pan with a thin layer of oil.
  • Pour a ladle of batter into the pan, swirling it to form an even, thin layer.

Ingredients:

• 5 eggs (for the crepe batter)
• 625g unsweetened fresh milk (for the crepe batter)
• 1g salt (for the crepe batter)
• 5g vanilla extract (for the crepe batter)
• 250g all-purpose flour (or cake flour, type 11)
• 90g unsalted butter (for the crepe batter)
• 500g whipping cream (for the filling)
• 50g sugar (for the filling)

Directions:

• Prepare the egg-sugar mixture:
  • Start by cracking 5 eggs into a large bowl. Add 65g of sugar and 1g of salt, then whisk together until the mixture is smooth and light.
  • Add 5g of vanilla extract and continue whisking until well combined.
• Mix the flour:
  • Sift 250g of flour and 125g of milk into the egg mixture. Whisk to ensure the mixture becomes smooth and thinner.
  • Add the remaining 500g of milk to the mixture and whisk again until fully incorporated.
• Incorporate the butter:
  • Melt 90g of unsalted butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Alternatively, melt it in a double boiler.
  • Pour the melted butter into the batter and mix well until the butter is fully combined.
  • Strain the batter through a sieve to remove any lumps, then cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Color the batter:
  • After 1 hour, take the batter out of the fridge and gently stir it. Divide the batter into 6 equal portions.
  • Add a few drops of food coloring to 5 portions, leaving 1 portion uncolored (white). You can adjust the intensity of the color according to your preference.
• Cook the crepes:
  • Place a non-stick pan over low heat to warm up. Pour a tablespoon of batter into the pan, tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
  • Once the crepe starts to puff and the surface is dry, flip it over gently to cook the other side for about 20 seconds.
  • Remove the crepe and continue cooking the rest of the batter in the same way, stacking the cooked crepes by color as they cool.
  • Be patient, as the cooking process may take some time. The first crepe might stick, so it’s recommended to grease the pan lightly with oil and wipe it with paper towels before proceeding.
• Whip the cream:
  • In a large bowl, combine 500g of cold whipping cream with 50g of sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on low speed, gradually increasing to high speed, until stiff peaks form and the cream holds its shape.
  • Chill the whipped cream in the fridge while you prepare the next steps.
• Assemble the cake:
  • Once all the crepes are ready, spread a layer of whipped cream onto each crepe. Continue layering the crepes and cream, alternating until all the layers are stacked.
  • Once completed, transfer the cake to the fridge to chill and firm up before serving. For decoration, use any leftover whipped cream to pipe onto the cake as desired.

• 40g unsalted butter (Green Tea Crepe)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (Green Tea Crepe) (optional)
• 170g all-purpose flour (Green Tea Crepe)
• 10g pure matcha powder (Green Tea Crepe)
• 40g sugar (Green Tea Crepe)
• 3 eggs (Custard Cream)
• 75g sugar (Custard Cream)
• 30g all-purpose flour (Custard Cream)
• 300ml warm milk (Custard Cream)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (Custard Cream)

• 300ml chilled heavy cream (Custard Cream) (30-35% fat)
• 20g sugar (Custard Cream)

Instructions:

• Prepare the green tea crepe batter:
  • Beat the 3 eggs in a bowl until lightly blended. Add the milk (at room temperature) and whisk until smooth.
  • Melt the butter, either in hot water or a small pan over low heat. Once melted, pour it into a bowl and let it cool slightly, keeping it warm.
  • Combine the melted butter and vanilla extract with the egg-milk mixture, then stir well.
  • Sift the 170g flour, 10g matcha powder, and 40g sugar into the bowl, then stir until fully incorporated. Gradually add the flour mixture into the egg-milk mixture and whisk until smooth.
  • Once mixed, strain the batter through a sieve to remove any lumps. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
• Cook the crepes:
  • Heat a non-stick pan over low-medium heat. Melt a bit of butter in the pan, then wipe away excess butter with paper towels. Pour 3 tablespoons (40-45ml) of batter into the pan.
  • Swirl the pan to evenly spread the batter in a thin, round layer.
  • Cook for 1-1.5 minutes, until the edges turn golden and the crepe loosens from the pan. Flip and cook for an additional 45-60 seconds until golden and fully cooked.
  • Once done, place the crepes on a cooling rack to cool completely before stacking and shaping. This recipe yields 12-15 crepes, depending on batter thickness and crepe size.
• Prepare the custard cream:
  • Separate the 3 egg yolks into a bowl. Add the sugar and whisk until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  • Sift the flour into the egg-sugar mixture and stir to combine. Gradually add the warm milk, a little at a time, whisking well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and mix again.
  • Strain the mixture through a sieve to ensure it's smooth, then pour it into a pot.
  • Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Once the custard thickens and becomes glossy, test for a smooth flavor without any flour taste, then remove from heat.
  • Transfer the custard to a large bowl and whisk vigorously for 1-3 minutes to cool it down quickly and make it smooth.
  • Cover the custard with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for 30-40 minutes until cool.
  • Soak the gelatin in cold water for 10-15 minutes to soften. Then, warm it up in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or by steaming it until fully dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly for 20-25 minutes.
  • Whip the chilled heavy cream with 20g sugar at high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually pour in the dissolved gelatin while continuing to whip at a low speed until the cream is firm but smooth (avoid over-whipping).
  • Remove the custard from the fridge and gently fold in the whipped cream until smooth and thick. If the mixture is too runny, refrigerate it for another 20-30 minutes to firm up before assembling the cake.
• Assemble and decorate the cake:
  • Place one crepe on a cake board and place a few pieces of paper underneath to prevent the cream from dirtying the board.
  • Spread a thin layer of custard cream over the crepe, then place another crepe on top.
  • Continue layering crepes and custard cream until all the crepes and cream are used up.
  • Before serving, sprinkle matcha powder on top for decoration. You can use a stencil to create a beautiful pattern with the matcha powder.
  • Once the cake is assembled, refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to allow the cream to set and the flavors to meld. Once chilled, it's ready to serve!
