6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2-1/2 teaspoons corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Constantly whisk until mixture reaches 120-130° (do not overheat). Stirring gently, keep at 120-130° for 2 minutes. Immediately transfer to a mixing bowl., With a whisk attachment, beat on high speed for 5 minutes. Reduce speed and beat for 5 additional minutes or until cool and stiff. Transfer to a large bowl., In the same mixing bowl with the whisk attachment, beat butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in cooled white chocolate mixture. With a spatula, stir a fourth of the meringue into butter mixture until no white streaks remain. Fold in remaining meringue. Cover and refrigerate., Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat; pour 2 tablespoons crepe batter into center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of this crepe cake, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Make sure your crepes are thin and evenly cooked. The crepes should be thin enough to be easily rolled, but not so thin that they tear. They should also be evenly cooked so that they have a consistent texture.
  • Don't overfill the crepes. When you're assembling the cake, don't overfill the crepes with filling. This will make them difficult to roll and may cause them to break.
  • Chill the cake before serving. Chilling the cake before serving helps to set the filling and makes it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Chocolate pumpkin crepe cake is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, creamy pumpkin filling, and delicate crepes, this cake is sure to be a hit.
