Tiramisu Crepe Cake is a fun spin on traditional tiramisu. The delicate crepe layers are not only delicious, they make for a beautiful presentation. You’ll see that once you slice into this cake, all your guests’ jaws will drop!

Much like tiramisu, this cake captures the flavor of sweet and creamy coffee. But instead of using lady fingers, you will alternate crepes with espresso-flavored whipped cream.

How to Make Tiramisu Crepe Cake

  • Prepare crepes.

Tips for Tiramisu Crepe Cake

  • Speed Up Crepe Making. If you have tow pans that are exactly the same size, cook double the amount of crepes in the same amount of time.
  • Smooth Cream. Make sure that the cream cheese is at room temperature and the heavy cream is extra cold when you mix them together. This will prevent lumps and result in the smoothest cream possible.
  • Keep the Shape. Use a springform pan to keep the sides even and the cake leveled.
  • Let the Cake Set. Leave it in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to set. Do not skip this crucial step. It will ensure your cake is stable when you serve it and it also brings out the best flavors.

FAQ

How long do crepe cakes last?

The crepe cake will last up to a week when stored properly in the fridge. Keep it in a cake storage container or covered tightly with plastic wrap to prevent it from hardening or turning stale.

What is the definition of tiramisu?

Tiramisu is a coffee-flavored Italian dessert cake. Typically, the cake is made with cream, eggs, marscapone cheese, sugar and ground cocoa. However, there are so many different variations of this popular dessert and many chefs alter an ingredient here and there to fit their tastebuds.

Freezing Leftovers

Freeze your cake in individual slices by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap. When you’re ready to eat a slice, remove it and allow it to thaw in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
