2. Preheat pan on medium low.
3. Coat pan with small amount of butter (about ½ tsp).
4. Scoop ¼ cup batter onto pan, immediately swirl pan to ensure even coating of batter on the pan surface.

Filling

• 3 cups heavy whipping cream
• 16oz mascarpone cheese, (or cream cheese) room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp rum extract (optional)

1. Using an electric mixer whip heavy cream, sugar, vanilla and rum extracts until stiff peaks form. Then fold in room temperature mascarpone cheese until well combined.

Garnish

• Cocoa powder for dusting each layer (about 2 Tbsp)
• Chocolate covered coffee beans *optional

Assembly

• Place 1 crepe on flat plate or board.
• Spread 1/8-inch layer of whipped filling onto crepe and lightly dust with cocoa powder using a sieve.
• Place another crepe on top of the filling and continue to make layers of filling dusted with cocoa powder and crepes until you have just enough filling to do a layer on the top (*optional thinly coat the sides with additional filling).
• Generously coat the top with cocoa powder.
• Refrigerate 4-12 hours before serving. Refrigerate leftovers and consume within 4 days.
