    Easy Gluten Free Crepe Cake Recipe with Wild Blueberry Topping -- A sweet cream cheese filling, warm blueberry sauce, and an unexpected ingredient make this one of the easiest crepe cakes you'll ever make!

    Gluten Free Crepe Cake Recipe & Blueberry Topping on White Plate

    By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Wild Blueberries and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.

    There's no denying that apple and pumpkin run the roost when it comes to holiday desserts. You're either team apple or team pumpkin, no ifs, ands or buts.

    BUT........

    I'm here to stand up for the little guys. Those desserts that don't slap fall across your face, but are equally as important and delicious on the dessert table.

    And this one ain't even a pie. (gasp!)

    What makes this gluten free crepe cake recipe delicious and healthy

    • corn tortillas
    • sugar
    • cinnamon
    • light cream cheese
    • vanilla Greek yogurt
    • powdered sugar
    • vanilla
    • milk
    • lemon zest
    • frozen wild blueberries
    • lemon juice
    • water

    How to make this crepe cake

    In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon sugar, and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside. Lay 12 corn tortillas out on a baking sheet, or baking sheets. Coat lightly with cooking spray, or with a neutral oil like avocado or canola oil, and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Flip tortillas, and repeat process. Set tortillas aside.

    In a mixing bowl, combine 4 ounces of softened light cream cheese, ⅓ cup vanilla Greek yogurt (I like the Siggi's brand since it is lower in sugar), ¼ cup low-fat or preferred milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and lemon zest from ½ a lemon (about ½-1 tablespoon). Beat with hand mixer or whisk until light and fluffy, or about 3 minutes.

    Especially when they're frozen. Most of the wild blueberry crop (aka 99%) is frozen, making their extra blueberry...y flavor and double dose of antioxidants available long after they poke their sweet little heads out in the summer.

    They get a major thumbs up from me too since a lot of the wild blueberries come from this little state of mine, MAINE!

    I got the inspiration for this recipe from another local landmark, my grocery store Hannaford. This month's issue of their Fresh Magazine was plastered with a dropdead gorgeous crepe cake for the holidays, and knew I wanted to get my hands on trying one of these beauties for myself.

    ..So this may not actually contain crepes, but in my defense those things are damn time consuming, near impossible to perfect, and should be left up to the professionals.

    aka an excuse for me to return to France. Quality assurance testing purpose only, of course.

    BUT I did make it gluten free. That gives me some brownie (crepe?) points don't it?

    It may not be as delicate and/or French, but corn tortillas are by far the easiest, cheapest, and least processed gluten free tortilla/crepe replacement out there. They are so much more than a vehicle for guac and taco filling.

    Dem layers doh.

    Feel free to double this recipe of you want to make it look so epic and all. I am however not responsible for leaning tower of crepe cakes, or blueberry stained carpets.

    Let's get wild.

      You don't see corn tortillas in sweet dishes very often. I would have never guessed by the picture that you subbed the crepes for corn tortillas!

      My first thought "looks beautiful but not sure I'd actually make crepes." Could have fooled me! This is a great idea.
