• 150 ml skimmed milk
• Sweetener to taste
• ½ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the Chocolate Crepes

Whisk together:

• Eggs
• Milk
• Sweetener
• Vanilla

Add:

• Oat bran
• Wheat bran
• Cocoa powder
• Skimmed milk powder
• Baking powder

Mix until smooth.

Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes.

Cook very thin crepes in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until lightly browned on both sides.

Repeat until all the batter has been used.

Allow the crepes to cool completely.

Step 2 – Prepare the Cream

Blend together:

• Greek yogurt
• Cottage cheese
• Sweetener
• Vanilla

Whisk until silky smooth.

For a chocolate filling, mix in a teaspoon of cocoa powder.

Step 3 – Assemble the Cake

Place one crepe on a serving plate.

Spread a thin layer of cream.

Repeat with each crepe until all layers are stacked.

Finish by covering the top and sides with the remaining cream.

Step 4 – Decorate

Sprinkle generously with:

• Chopped walnuts
• Coconut flakes
• Cocoa powder

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

The resting time allows the crepes to soften and absorb the creamy filling, creating a tender cake-like texture.

Dukan Tips

• The thinner the crepes, the more elegant the finished cake.
