Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pour heavy cream and powdered sugar into a bowl. Whip with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, ~3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Divide whipped cream into 5 bowls. Add 5 drops food coloring to each (red, yellow, blue, green, purple), stirring gently.

  3. Step 3

    Lay one crepe on a plate. Spread a thin layer of red whipped cream on top, then place another crepe down.

  4. Step 4

    Repeat with remaining colors (yellow, blue, green, purple), stacking crepes and frosting until all 12 are used.

  5. Step 5

    Frost the top and sides with any remaining whipped cream, smoothing gently with an offset spatula.

  6. Step 6

    Refrigerate 5 minutes, then slice with a serrated knife using a gentle sawing motion. Garnish with berries if desired.

Tools you’ll need

  • large mixing bowl
