Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups milk
• ½ cup orange juice

• 1 pint heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Add crepe ingredients to a blender in the following order: milk, orange juice, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, flour, sugar, orange zest, and salt. Blend until smooth, 15 to 20 seconds.

Step 2

Refrigerate batter for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.

Step 3

Preheat a nonstick 8-inch pan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup batter to the hot pan. Immediately move the pan from side to side to form batter into an even circle. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and repeat to cook remaining crepes.

Step 4

Whip cream and sugar for filling with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Add instant pudding mix and blend until well combined. Mix in drained pineapple.

Step 5

Assemble cake by placing one crepe on a serving plate. Use a spoon to spread 1 tablespoon filling into a thin layer over the crepe. Continue layers with remaining crepes and filling.
