The recipe is easy. Take one traditional crêpe recipe and add ¼ cup cocoa and increase the agave nectar to ¼ cup. Using a small non-stick butter smeared skillet, I use a 6”, drop 1/8 cup of batter and swirl until the pan is coated and cook for just a minute or two. Flip if you must and allow the other side to warm through. Pile your crêpes with parchment in between each. This makes about 20. Oh la la!
Take one cup ganache and fold in 1 cup of whipped heavy cream. Spread a heaping tablespoon on each crêpe and spread it evenly. Add the next crêpe and follow with another heaping tablespoon.
Keep piling the Crêpes and lovely chocolate cream until you have run out of all your lovely ingredients. Chill for a few hours to set and then grab yourself a serrated knife and saw through to heaven.Happy Valentines Day!

I just came across your blog the other day. Definitely have it bookmarked. Your recipes look amazing and delicious and beautiful. I'm going to have to pick up your cookbook soon...but oh man...I have a feeling that I'm going to gain a good 30 pounds just from looking at your blog.
you are inspiring.
and uh...YUM! printing this recipe now; can't wait to try it. Luckily I have lots of patience when it comes to baking (cakeball-making isn't a quick process)
this is just AWESOMEEEE. now i want to ake a crepe cake and not just any crepe cake but your cocoa crepe cake:) it is absolutely lovely!
I stumbled upon your site last week and was immediately inspired, not only by your recipes but by your story as well. As a frustrated attorney, I often dream about doing what you have done - leaving it all for a life creating beatiful, delcious things. While that goal may still be some years in the future for me, I went ahead and made this crepe cake this weekend. It was a resounding success. It was beautiful and delicious and though time consuming, not difficult. Thanks for the inspiration! I will definately check back for more!

Is that
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
or
1 cup whipped heavy cream, which is 1/2 c heavy
cream, whipped
I made it with the former and it was a lot shorter/thinner than yours appears to be. Lovely fudgey flavor so turne out fine but curious what was intended.
OMG I'm in heaven! Wow! Jaw slack and eyes are glazing over - I'm in love! Gorgeous, chocolate gorgeousness!
oh man that looks amazing !!!!!!!
i fear making crepes, what if the crepe rips when i try to flip it :s
This was amazing!!!
I made it for a work get together tonight mostly because I'd wanted to make it since I read this post and there are no words for the deliciousness.
I made a couple of mods to the recipe, mostly because I didn't want to be overwhelmed with chocolate. I took about a cup of strawberry puree and folded it into a cup of whipped heavy cream and spread a dallop of it on three or four of the layers.
Heavenly. Oh, and I garnished with a handful of fresh cut strawberries.
Thank you!!!
I'm going to make this! I just found your blog, and I can't resist to make this now..
I tried making this and was wondering how you got it to stay straight. My final product ended up lopsided with the filling spilling out of the side because the crepes kept moving around.
Phew! Making this is not for the faint hearted! Lots of time and lots of mess, but from what I can tell will taste awesome and it looks very fancy!
I put mine in a trifle bowl to help prevent the wobbly leaning tower problem. =)
