A delicate layered crêpe cake filled with fluffy vanilla speculoos cream and finished with a cookie butter glaze. This elegant dessert is rich, lightly spiced, and perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1¾ cups (420 ml) milk
  • ½ cup (120 ml) water
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups (360 ml) heavy cream
  • ½ cup (120 g) speculoos cookie butter
  • ¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: ¼ cup (60 g) mascarpone or cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons warmed cookie butter (for glaze)
  • Crushed speculoos cookies (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Cover and chill the batter for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, swirling to create a thin layer. Cook for about 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Repeat with remaining batter and allow crêpes to cool completely.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the speculoos cookie butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold it into the speculoos mixture. Fold in mascarpone or cream cheese if using.
  4. Place one crêpe on a serving plate and spread 2–3 tablespoons of filling evenly over the surface. Repeat layering with remaining crêpes and filling, finishing with a crêpe on top.
  5. Spread warmed cookie butter over the top as a glaze and garnish with crushed speculoos cookies. Chill the cake for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure crêpes are completely cool before assembling to prevent the filling from melting.
  • For cleaner slices, refrigerate overnight before serving.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can substitute Biscoff spread for speculoos cookie butter.
