ASSEMBLED THE 20 LAYERS CREPES

Place one (1) prepared crepe on a large cake plate.
 
With a small spatula or wide blade knife, completely cover the crepe with a thin layer of the pastry cream mixture (approximately 1/4 cup) Sprinkle some grated chocolate
  
Cover with another dry crepe and repeat covering with the Pastry Crème until you have reached 20 layers.
  
The 20th crepe will be the last or top layer. Frost the cake with remaining whipped cream sprinkle with grated chocolate or cocoa dust. /Letakan satu lapisan crepes dan sapukan dengan krim putar tadi...tabur chocolate parut dan lapiskan semula..ulangi proses sehingga pada lapisan ke 20 atau lapisan ke 25.   Hias kek dengan baki krim putar dan taburkan chocolate parut atau..taburan serbuk koko,
  
Refrigerate the prepared cake for a minimum of 2 hours. Allow to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered (confectioners' sugar).
When ready to serve, slice into individual servings. Garnish the plate with fresh berries.
Makes one (1) 20-Layer Cake / Sejukkan kek selama 2 jam, Keluarkan dan biarkan pada suhu bilik selama 15-20 sebelum dihidang. Saji bersama buah-buahan segar seperti berries
  
Sekali lihat rasanya rumit membuatnya....seakan membuat kek lapis betawi tetapi sebenarnya membuatnya mudah cuma agak renyah sedikit. Mille Crepes Cake ini adalah dessert masyarakat Perancis...Mille..bermaksud ribuan...ini dikaitkan dengan banyaknya lapisan crepes yang digunakan untuk dijadikan satu kek. Kebiasaanya antara 20-25 keping crepes dilapiskan dengan lapisan krimputar dan kastad.  Untuk mendapatkan kenikmatan maksima seeloknya kek ini disimpan dalam fridge seelok-eloknya semalaman. Sesuai disaji bersama buah-buah segar seperti berries. Dengan kreativiti anda boleh mempelbagaikan creams ini.
