Directions
Crepes:

- Once the batter is well combined, pour it through a sieve into a measuring cup.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over low heat.

- When small air pockets appear under the crepe, transfer the cooked crepe onto a plate to cool. Repeat until the batter is finished.
Filling:

Assembly:
- Lay down the crepe on a flat surface with its smooth side facing down.
- Scoop the whipped cream onto the middle of the pancake and place one chunk of mango on top.
- Gently fold the crepe from all four sides to form a pillow-like shape.
- Transfer to a serving plate and serve!
Firming up the cream
When making this crepes recipe, it’s important to refrigerate the final product for at least 30 minutes. Setting these fluffy pillows in the fridge allows the cream to set and firm up, improving its overall presentation and texture. After all, they taste much better and fresher when they’re cold!
