Chocolate Tiramisu Crepe Cake

Chocolate Tiramisu Crepe Cake

By: Linda Bonwill - Englewood, FL - 2nd Place Winner 2017

"I have always wanted to make a Crepe Cake. I knew the layers of cream would have to be light, not heavy in between the crepes for the cake to form and stand erect. My first choice were layers of vanilla custard and whipping cream. Yes, Tiramisu had to be it. Chocolate crepes flavored with coffee, Yum! Tying it all together with a rich, chocolate, shiny coffee glaze. It is the perfect combination for this perfect dessert."
