This isn't your average dessert; it's a guilt-free treat that's perfect for breakfast or dessert, offering a satisfying blend of textures and flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.

Imagine layers of light, airy crepes infused with the rich, bold notes of tiramisu, nestled between a creamy, no-added-sugar vanilla protein yoghurt filling. It's a symphony of flavours that delivers all the indulgence without the heaviness. And with our game-changing tweaks, this classic dessert reaches new heights of deliciousness and nutritional value.

Why This Crepe Cake is a Game-Changer

We've taken the traditional tiramisu crepe cake and given it a 99th Monkey makeover, focusing on wholesome ingredients and innovative techniques. Here's how we've elevated this classic:

1. Oat Flour: A Nutritional Powerhouse:

   • We've swapped all-purpose flour for oat flour, a nutritional powerhouse that's naturally gluten-free (ensure you use certified gluten free oat flour if required) and packed with fibre. This not only enhances satiety but also adds a subtle, nutty flavour to the crepes. Oat flour provides a soft, satisfying bite without the heaviness of refined flour.
   • This change ensures a more sustained release of energy, keeping you full and satisfied for longer.

2. Whipped Egg Whites and Baking Powder: Light and Airy Crepes:

   • To achieve the perfect crepe texture, we've incorporated whipped egg whites and baking powder, along with a splash of water. This combination creates light, airy, and flexible crepes that are a dream to work with.
   • This method allows for crepes that are delicate and not dense, which is key to a light and satisfying cake.

3. 99th Monkey Vegan Protein Coffee Smoothie Carton: A Bold Flavour Infusion:

   • Our signature 99th Monkey Vegan Protein Coffee Smoothie carton takes center stage, infusing the crepes with a deep, rich coffee flavour that's essential to tiramisu. This provides a significant protein boost and a boldness that is unmatched.
   • This ingredient eliminates the need for added coffee flavouring or extracts, providing a natural and robust taste.

Method:

1. Prepare the Crepe Batter:

   • Add the baking powder and a splash of water (2 tsp), mixing thoroughly.
   • In a separate bowl, whip the egg white until soft peaks form.
   • Gently fold the whipped egg white into the batter, ensuring it remains light and airy.

2. Cook the Crepes:

   • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
   • Pour ¼ cup (or ½ cup for larger crepes) of batter into the center of the pan.
   • Quickly tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle.

   • Sprinkle the top with cacao powder and grated dark chocolate.

5. Chill and Serve:
