🛒 Ingredients

🟣 Ube Crêpes

90 g all-purpose flour
240 ml whole milk
2 eggs
1 level tablespoon sugar(ube is naturally sweet - no need to overdo it)
30 g melted butter
40–50 g ube purée or 1 to 1½ teaspoons ube extract

🍋 Mango–Passion Fruit–Lime Mascarpone Whipped Cream

200 ml heavy cream (35% fat), very cold
100 g mascarpone
50 g sweetened condensed milk (≈ 3 tablespoons)
40 g mango–passion fruit purée
Zest of ½ lime
5–8 ml lime juice (1 to 1½ teaspoons)

🥭 Fruit & finishing

1 ripe mango, sliced
2 passion fruits (pulp + juice)

👩🍳 Method

1️⃣ Make the crêpes

Whisk all the crêpe ingredients until perfectly smooth.

Strain the batter, then refrigerate for 1 hour.

Heat a lightly greased non-stick pan.

Pour about ¼ cup of batter per crêpe to make very thin crêpes.

Cook briefly, without browning.

Let cool completely.

2️⃣ Prepare the mascarpone whipped cream

Soften the mascarpone

Whisk the mascarpone with the condensed milk until smooth.

Add the flavorings

Gently mix in the passion fruit pulp, lime zest, and lime juice.

👉 The texture should remain soft, never runny.

Whip the cream

Add the cold heavy cream.

Start whisking slowly, then increase speed.

Stop as soon as soft, stable peaks form.

3️⃣ Assemble

Lay the crêpes slightly overlapping.

Spread an even layer of whipped cream.

Add the mango pieces, then drizzle with the passion fruit juice.

Roll tightly, without pressing too hard.

4️⃣ Finish & rest

Decorate as desired.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set properly.

Slice and serve well chilled.

🌟 Tips

Controlled sweetness: ube is naturally mild and sweet - keep sugar restrained.
Brightness is key: lime and passion fruit structure the cream and lift the flavors.
Texture matters: a supple whipped cream ensures clean slices and a neat roll.

💗 A balanced dessert 🍰
