3 cups whole milk, warm
¾ stick unsalted butter, melted
¼ teaspoon red food coloring
¼ teaspoon orange food coloring
¼ teaspoon green food coloring
7 cups whipped cream, divided
¼ cup strawberry puree
2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberry, crushed, divided, plus 1 teaspoon
4 tablespoons passion fruit juice, strained, divided

Add the strawberry purée and 2 tablespoons crushed freeze-dried strawberries to a bowl of whipped cream and mix until well combined. Add the passion fruit juice to another bowl and mix until well combined. Add the lime juice and 2 tablespoons lime zest to the last bowl and mix until well combined.
  • To assemble, place a green crepe on a serving platter. Spread with 2 tablespoons of the lime filling. Continue stacking the green crepes and lime filling, then repeat with the orange crepes and passion fruit filling, then the red crepes and strawberry filling. Spread the remaining cup of whipped cream evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
  • Top the cake with the halved strawberries, then sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of lime zest and remaining teaspoon of crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of passion fruit juice.
  • Slice and serve.
