Ingredients

Crepes:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 30 ml melted butter plus more for cooking
  • 188 ml whole milk
  • 60 g all-purpose flour
  • 30 g granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon goldenberry powder optional, for color

Filling:

  • 2 large mangoes peeled, pitted and cut into large chunks (about 2.5" by 1.5")
  • 200 ml heavy whipping cream 36% milkfat
  • 2 teaspoon powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Make the crepes:

    • In a high-powered blender, combine the egg, melted butter, whole milk, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, vanilla extract and goldenberry powder (if using).
    • Blend on high-speed until incorporated, about 30 seconds.
    • Pour the mixture through a sieve into to a mixing bowl or large measuring cup to remove any lumps, and lightly cover with plastic wrap.
    • Place into the fridge to rest for 1 hour.

    Cook the crepes:

    • Heat up a large frying pan over low heat.
    • Add a little butter and swirl it around.
    • Pour about ¼ C of crepe batter to the pan (using a 9" diameter frying pan -- if using a different size, you may need to adjust accordingly) and swirl around evenly.
    • Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side (do not flip).
    • Use a spatula to carefully remove the crepe and transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
    • Repeat with the remaining batter.

    Make the whipped cream:

    • In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
    • Whisk until the cream stiffens and holds a firm peak (but be careful not to overwhip).

    Assemble the crepes:

    • Place a crepe (smooth-side down) on a clean work surface.
    • Add a dollop of whipped cream to the center.
    • Place a chunk of mango on top of the cream.
    • Add another dollop of whipped cream over the mango.
    • Working from the bottom, gently fold up the crepe to cover the whipped cream and mango.
    • Fold in both sides.
    • And fold over to enclose, seam-side down.
    • Place the mango pancake onto a plate.
    • Repeat with the remainder.
    • Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

    Notes

    Crepe batter yields approximately 8 x 9" round crepes.
