Before you begin

Cream cheese whipped cream holds the petals together. Build on the serving plate so you can turn the rose while wrapping the outer petals.

Method 做法

01

Rest the batter

Mix the eggs and 50 g sugar. Add the sifted flour, then the oil, milk and purple sweet potato powder. Stir until evenly coloured, strain, cover and refrigerate for one hour.

Cook thin crêpes

Stir the rested batter. Swirl a ladleful in a flat frying pan over low heat. Once small bubbles appear, turn the crêpe and remove when set. Repeat, cool the crêpes and trim to even edges using a round tin as a guide.

Make the rose centre

Beat the softened cream cheese and 30 g sugar smooth. Add the cream and whip until it holds its shape. Spread a thin layer on the cooled crêpes. Stack three cream-coated crêpes as shown and roll them from one end to form the middle of the rose.

✦When can I start filling the crêpes?
Cool the crêpes before spreading with cream. Warm crêpes soften the filling and let the petals slip.
