Crêpes
Whisk together mix and milk until smooth, the mixture should look looser than pancake or waffle batter. (Add a tablespoon more of milk if needed.)
Heat a non stick pan on medium-high heat and dab in a bit of butter, then pour in ¼ cup of batter and carefully lift and rotate the pan so the batter coats the flat surface of the pan (get wavy with it, you want to move the batter around a bit so it’s evenly spread)
As soon as small bubbles begin to form across the surface of the crepe (about 1 minute) give the pan a shake to release the crepe’s edges, then use a large spatula or a generous flick of the wrist to fully flip your crepe.
Finish cooking the other side for another 30 seconds, then transfer to a plate and move on to the next with the remaining batter.
Stack crepes as they cook so they stay warm inside while the edges remain crisp and lacy.

Coconut Whip Cream
REFRIGERATE coconut milk at least 18-24 hours before use
Pop metal or glass mixing bowl in freezer for 5-10 min
Carefully remove cans of milk from refrigerator open and spoon out coconut cream from the top into prepared mixing bowl (we don’t need the coconut water that has settled to the bottom)
Whisk coconut cream on medium for 2-4 min until you start to see soft peaks (hand mixer is also useable for this recipe) add your sweetener of choice and vanilla extract and mix again for 1-2 minutes until you see stiff peaks
Use immediately or store in refrigerator in air tight container
Crème Légère
Take cooled pastry cream and whisk in a bowl until it resembles a creamy paste
Using a spatula take a 1/4 of the whipped coconut cream and stir into matcha pistachio pastry cream to lighten the mixture. Then gently fold in the remainder of the coconut whip cream until everything is combined.
