This dish has been on my to-make list for ages. I always loved the combination of hazelnut, brown butter, and thyme, mostly because it is woodsy and earthy. While I usually make desserts with that flavor combination, it made just as much sense to do something savory with it as well(since it is an inherently…

Pink Peach Mille Crepe
My obsession with pink peaches continues as we get towards the end of peach season. It’s crazy to think that summer is almost over – 2025 really has flown by. That being said, I wanted to make another dessert that would really embrace the prettiness of these pink peaches. For those who have not seen…
Strawberry and Cream Pancakes
This recipe is sort of my homage to that trendy mango and cream crepe-pancake thing I would see all over social media a year or two ago, but with my answer to needing to use up a bunch of strawberries I had on hand. I love making crepes because the batter is so easy to…
Oreo Mille Crepe Cake
I have been wanting to make this specific recipe since May of 2023. But back then, I was still on a two-month sugar fast, and I learned very quickly that May is an exhausting month to try to do anything – between Mother’s Day and my dad’s birthday, there’s already a lot of cakes that…
Brown Betty Beggar’s Purses
Because of apple picking, I had a plethora of apples that I needed to get rid of. I had to think of creative ways to use them, beyond just making a cake, or cookies, or pie, and that was when I thought about crepes. I remember the first time making a crepe, and how therapeutic…
Dadar gulung mille crepe(pandan and coconut)
So a lot of Asians grew up on pandan, but truthfully, I never did. I always hear people saying that it’s the “vanilla of Asia”, which I might call blatant B.S. to, because I did not grow up on anything with pandan at all. And before the pandemic, I never even had anything with pandan…

Chocolate-blackberry izba crepe cake
I haven’t made izba cake in years, so I wanted to revisit it, using my newfound love for making crepes. So we have tubes of cocoa-mochi crepes stuffed with whipped yuzu-mascarpone cheesecake mousse, brown butter-ruby chocolate macerated blackberries, chocolate feuilletine, and chantilly cream. Izba cake is typically done with tubes of pastry, but I subbed…
Citron mille crepe
I made this dessert as a result of having way too many lemons lying around. I have a family friend who always gives us free lemons and passionfruit straight from their trees (amazing quality and I love them for it every year!), so I knew right away that I could use a good amount of…
Pistachio mille crepe
Before I worked at Milk Bar, I never was a particularly huge fan of pistachios in desserts. I typically used them in things like dhukka or in salads, and I preferred using hazelnuts or almonds in my desserts instead(I did make pistachio desserts, but removing the damn shells also annoyed me and my fingernails to…
Chestnut-chocolate mille crepe
When I was thinking of what kinds of desserts to make for the holidays, I was split between doing a chestnut dessert or a chocolate dessert. I was a bit apprehensive to make a chestnut dessert because of how many I had made recently, and how many I will be making now that I found…
Golden Milk-Tofu Ice Cream with Activated Charcoal-Tofu “Sugar” Cone
I only ever heard about golden milk when I went with my sister to Pressed Juicery and was introduced to a sample shot of it there. I heard that it had a lot of great health benefits, including boosting your immune system, clarifying your skin, blood purifying, being a liver tonic, having anticancer properties, and…
Khanom buang: Thai street crepes
Khanom buang are Thai crepes, which can be either sweet or savory, and are typically found in stalls served as street food. The first time I ever heard about Thai street crepes was actually watching Iron Chef America, Battle Tamarind. The challenger, Hong Thaimee, was making these with her dessert, although she prepared a baked version….
