Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup full-fat milk
- 2 large ripe mangoes
Flour and Starch:
- 1/3 cup plain flour
- 1/4 cup cornflour (cornstarch)
Sweeteners and Extras:
- 1/4 cup icing sugar (powdered sugar)
- 3 tablespoons icing sugar, sifted
- 1/4 teaspoon yellow food colouring
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Canola oil spray
Cream:
- 3/4 cup thickened (heavy) cream, fridge cold
Instructions
- Craft a silky batter by whisking milk with sifted flour, cornflour, and icing sugar until achieving a smooth, thin consistency. Incorporate eggs and food colouring, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Allow batter to rest in refrigerator for 60 minutes, enabling gluten relaxation and creating tender crepe texture.
- Prepare a non-stick pan at medium-low heat, lightly spritzed with oil. Pour batter centrally, rotating pan to distribute evenly. Cook for approximately 45-60 seconds until set, avoiding flipping. Gently release edges using a rubber spatula and transfer to a board, cooked surface facing upward. Repeat process to generate 10-12 delicate crepes. Cool completely.
- Whip cold cream with icing sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks develop, creating a luxurious vanilla-infused cream.
- Arrange crepes with cooked side inward. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream slightly below center, mirroring mango slice shape. Position mango slice atop cream. Fold bottom upward, tuck sides inward, and roll tightly resembling a compact burrito. Seal with seam underneath.
- Serve chilled, enjoying immediately for optimal freshness and textural integrity, reminiscent of an elegant, creamy spring roll.
Notes
- Chill the batter to ensure smooth, thin crepes that are soft and pliable without lumps.
- Use a non-stick pan with low-medium heat to prevent burning and achieve golden, delicate crepe edges.
- Slice mangoes thinly and evenly for uniform filling and elegant presentation in each crepe roll.
- Whip cream just before assembly to maintain maximum volume and prevent deflating the delicate texture.
