Instructions

Crepes (see video "how to cook a crepe" in NOTES)

Combine flours, egg whites, milk, orange juice, cake batter extract and oil in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Allow crepe batter to rest for 5-10 minutes.
Spray an 8-inch nonstick skillet lightly with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat until hot. Remove skillet from heat and pour ¼ cup batter into skillet, tilting skillet in all directions to evenly cover with batter (see video in NOTES).
Cook until edges start to brown and batter sets in center ( about 30 seconds – 1 minute). Carefully lift edges of crepe and flip with spatula. Cook for another 30 seconds – 1 minute or until crepe is lightly browned.
Remove crepe to plate to cool. Repeat with remaining batter to make 10 crepes, stacking each between sheets of parchment or wax paper

Assembly

Add 3 scoops of ice cream to the middle of the crepe

Notes

📖 VARIATIONS

Ice cream: you could use any brand or flavor of ice cream you want - the possibilities are endless!
Frosting: use store-bought (I use Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker whipped icing) or use homemade: Whipped Cream Buttercream Frosting Chocolate Frosting (without butter) or EASY Stabilized Whipped Cream Icing (with piping gel)
Sprinkles: use any sprinkles you prefer
Dairy-free: replace milk with soy or almond milk and regular ice cream with non-dairy ice cream. You could also use a dairy-free frosting.

💭 TOP TIP

*The trick with cooking crepes is that you need to use a hot pan, and turn the pan (like you would for an omelette) and move the liquid until it spreads over the entire pan.

🌡️STORAGE

The crepes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, in a sealed airtight container, so they can also be made ahead. Store the ice cream separately in the freezer. Store opened frosting in the fridge (separately) as well.
This recipe freezes well for up to 3 months. Lay them flat in a sealed container or Ziplock freezer bag, with parchment paper in between each crepe.

🍽EQUIPMENT

You can use any non-stick frying pan for this recipe. However, if you want the crepes the size you see, use an 8 inch non-stick frying pan (affiliate link), as that is what I used. You will also need a blender (affiliate link) or a food processer (affiliate link) * I prefer to use a blender, as the batter is runny.
