Categories     Dairy     Nut     Dessert     Pecan     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 12 crêpes, or 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
31/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
3 large eggs
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar plus additional for sprinkling
3 tablespoons dulce de leche paste* or Nutella
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Toast pecans in a shallow baking pan in middle of oven, shaking occasionally, until fragrant and a few shades darker, 8 to 10 minutes. Toss immediately with 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
  • Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a well-seasoned crêpe pan or an 8-inch nonstick skillet. Blend milk, eggs, flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a blender until smooth. Pour in melted butter, leaving a film of butter in skillet, and blend until well combined.
  • Heat skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Half fill a 1/4-cup measure with batter and, holding skillet off heat, pour in batter, immediately swirling and tilting skillet to create a thin even layer. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly. Next crêpe will be better.) Return skillet to heat and cook until crêpe is golden around edges and dry in center, about 45 seconds. Flip crêpe carefully and cook until golden, about 15 seconds more. Sprinkle crêpe lightly with sugar.
  • Make more crêpes with remaining batter, stacking them as cooked and lightly sprinkling each with sugar.
  • Preheat broiler and butter an 8-inch round flameproof shallow baking dish.
  • Heat dulce de leche paste and cream in a small saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until smooth. Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  • Fold crêpes into eighths and arrange in baking dish. Sprinkle lightly with sugar, then broil about 6 inches from heat until edges are crispy, about 45 seconds. Serve with sauce and pecans.

DULCE DE LECHE CHEESECAKE



Dulce de Leche Cheesecake image

I'm originally from Paraguay, and dulce de leche reminds me of where I came from. If you can't find it at your grocery store, try caramel ice cream topping instead. It tastes different, but this decadent dessert will still be amazing. -Sonia Lipham, Ranburne, Alabama

Tips:

  • Make sure the crepe batter is thin and smooth. If it's too thick, it will be difficult to spread evenly in the pan.
  • Make sure to heat the pan over medium heat before adding the batter. If the pan is too hot, the crepes will burn.
  • Spread the batter thinly and evenly in the pan. If the batter is too thick, it will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the crepes for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
  • As you stack the crepes, spread a layer of dulce de leche in between each crepe.
  • Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before serving. This will help the cake to set and the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the cake with whipped cream, fresh berries, or your favorite topping.

Conclusion:

This dulce de leche crepe cake is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its rich, creamy flavor and delicate texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
