Yield: Serves 10
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 60 mins
Difficulty Level: 3/5
Ingredients
- Unsalted butter, for greasing
- 3 cups Milo drink, warm
- 1 egg
- 230 g cake flour
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsps pure vanilla extract
- A pack of Milo nuggets, for topping
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cups Milo powder
- 2 cups non-dairy whipping cream
Steps
01. For the batter mix together eggs and vanilla, whisk until combined. Add Milo drink, whisk again.
02. Mix flours with salt and add slowly while continue to whisk. Strain to remove any lumps. Chill batter in fridge for at least 8 hours.
03. Heat up a 20-cm diameter pan and brush with butter. Pour in less than 1/4 cup of batter and swirl it around the pan. Let it cook for a minute. If the crepe is thin enough, no need to turn it.
04. Flip it on a cooling rack or plate. Repeat until no more batter is left.
05. For the filling use non-dairy whipping cream. It won’t melt at room temperature. Whip until doubled in size, slowly add 1/4 cup of Milo powder and continue whisking until very stiff.
06. Start layering the cake by using a crepe as a base. Spread a layer of Milo cream on and place another crepe on top. Continue until all crepes and cream are stacked up.
07. Chill for 1 hour.
08. Heat up heavy cream in a pot until warm. Stir in Milo powder and whisk until powder is fully dissolved. Strain to remove lumps.
09. Slice and serve each piece with a drizzle of the sauce and some Milo nuggets. Dust with Milo powder.
