🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1 cup whole milk
✓ 2 large eggs
✓ 2 tbsp cornstarch
✓ 1/4 cup taro powder
✓ 2 tbsp black sesame powder
✓ 1 tbsp honey
✓ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ 2 tbsp neutral oil for crepe pan
✓ 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
✓ 1/4 cup aquafaba (reserved liquid from canned chickpeas)
✓ 1/3 cup lite coconut milk
✓ 2 tbsp honey
✓ 1 tsp black sesame paste
✓ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make Crepe Batter (Taro + Black Sesame): Whisk milk, 2 eggs, cornstarch, taro powder, black sesame powder, 1 tbsp honey, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and salt in a blender for 90 seconds until completely smooth. Let rest 10 minutes—this hydrates taro and reduces lumps. Divide batter: 10 portions will be taro-dominant (lighter), 10 portions black sesame-dominant (darker).

2. Heat 8-Inch Crepe Pan: Place non-stick crepe pan or thin-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brush with neutral oil. Once shimmering, reduce to medium. Pan should be hot enough that batter sets immediately but not so hot it browns.

3. Cook First 10 Taro Crepes: Pour 3 tablespoons taro-dominant batter into center of pan, immediately tilt and rotate pan to spread into thin 8-inch circle. Cook 45–60 seconds until bottom is pale gold and edges curl slightly. Flip gently, cook reverse side 20 seconds. Slide onto parchment-lined plate. Repeat 9 more times, stacking crepes between parchment sheets.

4. Cook 10 Black Sesame Crepes: Repeat step 3 with black sesame-dominant batter portions. Stack on separate parchment. Crepes should be paper-thin and flexible. Let cool to room temperature—warm crepes tear easily.

5. Prepare Filling (Greek Yogurt Base): In one bowl, whisk Greek yogurt with 1 tbsp honey and 1/2 tsp vanilla until smooth. In another, whip aquafaba with electric mixer on high for 4–5 minutes until stiff peaks form (like meringue). Gently fold whipped aquafaba into yogurt in two additions. In a third small bowl, whisk lite coconut milk with 1 tbsp honey and 1 tsp black sesame paste for black sesame ganache layer.

6. Assemble Mille Crepe Cake (20 Layers): On serving plate, place one taro crepe as base. Spread 1 tbsp Greek yogurt-aquafaba filling evenly with offset spatula. Alternate crepe type (taro, black sesame, taro, black sesame) for visual striping. Every 3rd crepe layer, drizzle 1 tsp black sesame ganache. Continue stacking until all 20 crepes are used (typically 1.5–2 tbsp filling per layer). Final layer: taro crepe on top.

7. Chill and Set: Refrigerate assembled cake for at least 2 hours (ideally 4 hours or overnight). Cold setting allows flavors to meld and makes slicing cleaner. The cream firms up enough to hold layers without collapsing.

8. Finish and Serve: Dust top crepe lightly with black sesame powder and taro powder (1/4 tsp each) for visual appeal. Using a sharp, hot knife dipped in warm water, slice into two equal portions. Wipe blade between cuts for clean edges. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
