Crepe Cake with Whipped Cream Frosting: Carnivore Diet
This carnivore-friendly crepe cake is a stunning and indulgent dessert perfect for holidays or special occasions. Made with simple, animal-based ingredients, this layered treat features delicate crepes and a rich whipped cream frosting for a satisfying and diet-compliant dessert.
Ingredients
- For the Crepe Batter:
- 4 large eggs
- 4 ounces ½ cup cream cheese
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- Up to 4 tablespoons ½ stick salted butter, for the pan
- For the Whipped Cream Frosting:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
- Combine eggs, cream cheese, and vanilla extract (if using) in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and thin.
- Cook the Crepes:
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan. Pour in a small amount of batter to create two 4- to 4½-inch crepes.
- Cook each crepe for about 2 minutes, flip, and cook for another 1–2 minutes until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed between batches. You should yield approximately 12 crepes.
- Make the Whipped Cream:
- Whip the heavy cream (with vanilla extract, if using) using an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Lay 4 crepes on a serving plate and spread about 2 tablespoons of whipped cream frosting on top.
- Layer another 4 crepes, followed by more frosting. Repeat until all crepes are stacked, finishing with a layer of whipped cream to cover the top and sides of the cake.
- Serve:
- The cake can be enjoyed immediately or chilled before serving.
Notes
Adaptations: For a stricter carnivore diet, omit the vanilla extract entirely.
