- Scale out all ingredients and in a blender; combine together and pulse for 10 seconds.
- Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour to rest. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking.
- Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat, remove excess. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove from heat.
- Let the crepes cool down completely. Take care not to let them dry out.

Ingredient | | Quantity | | Procedure | |
Sugar Heavy Cream Whole Milk Egg Yolks Vanilla Bean Gelatin Leaves | | 1 cup 2-1/4 cups 2-1/4 cups 10 units 1 1 sheet | |
- In a small saucepan add milk, heavy cream and vanilla bean (cut in half and scrape out the vanilla seeds).
- Bring to a boil. While the mixture is coming to a boil, mix the egg yolks and sugar with a whisk vigorously in a bowl.
- When the liquid comes to a boil pour over the egg yolks and whisk vigorously.
- Add gelatin (previously soaked and excess liquid removed) and mix well until dissolved. Strain this vanilla crème anglaise and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally 24 hours.
- Whip the other 2 cups of cream and keep in the refrigerator.
- Whip well the crème anglaise to obtain a light texture. Fold in the whipped cream. Keep refrigerated.
Assembly
- Arrange the crepes on the Roul'Pat. Overlap the edges of the prepared crepes so there is complete coverage.
- Outer edges can be trimmed for the uniform rectangular shape. Pipe the vanilla mousse onto the crepe's surface. An offset spatula can be used to even out the filling.
- Gently roll out the crepe with vanilla mousse. Use the Roul'Pat to shape the cylindrical form.
- Refrigerate the crepe roll to allow mousse to set a bit. The roll can be cut to individual servings.
- Serve with cut strawberries and/or other fresh berries on the side.
