  Ingredients
  For the Pandan Crêpe Batter:
  4 large eggs, at room temperature
  2/3 cup fresh pandan juice (made by blending pandan leaves with water and straining)
  1 1/3 cups water
  1 cup whole milk (or plant-based milk for a lighter option)
  2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  Pinch of salt (optional, for enhanced flavor)
  For the Coconut-Pandan Custard:
  3 large egg yolks
  2.5 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  1 1/4 cups (300ml) full-fat coconut milk
  1/2 cup (120ml) fresh pandan juice
  1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
  1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for added depth)
  For the Vanilla Whipped Cream:
  1 cup (240ml) cold heavy whipping cream
  1-3 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust based on desired sweetness)
  1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  For Garnish:
  Fresh fruits such as sliced kiwi, strawberries, mango, or blueberries
  Optional: Toasted coconut flakes, edible flowers, or a drizzle of palm sugar syrup
  
  Instructions
  Step 1: Prepare the Pandan Crêpe Batter
  In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pandan juice, water, and milk until fully combined.
  Gradually add the sifted flour, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly runny, similar to heavy cream.
  Stir in the melted butter and a pinch of salt, if using, until fully incorporated.
  Cover the batter and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours). This resting period allows the flour to hydrate and results in tender, delicate crêpes.
  Step 2: Make the Coconut-Pandan Custard
  In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the egg yolks, granulated sugar, coconut milk, pandan juice, and sifted flour. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  Set up a double boiler by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water (ensure the bowl doesn’t touch the water).
  Cook the custard, stirring constantly with a spatula or whisk, for 10-15 minutes or until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
  Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, if using. Let the custard cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  Step 3: Cook the Crêpes
  Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan (8-10 inches) over low to medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil, wiping away excess with a paper towel.
  Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, then quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. If excess batter pools, pour it back into the bowl to keep the crêpe thin.
  Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges lift slightly and the crêpe is set. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  Transfer the crêpe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crêpes with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking.
  Step 4: Prepare the Vanilla Whipped Cream
  In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
  Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (about 2-3 minutes). Be careful not to overwhip, as this can cause the cream to become grainy.
  Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag or cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  Step 5: Assemble the Crêpes
  Lay a crêpe flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of coconut-pandan custard down the center.
  Pipe or spoon a dollop of whipped cream over the custard.
  Fold or roll the crêpe to enclose the filling, either into a classic roll or a triangular fold for a fancier presentation.
  Top with an assortment of fresh fruits, such as kiwi slices, strawberry halves, or mango cubes. For extra flair, sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes or drizzle with palm sugar syrup.
  Serve immediately for the freshest experience, or chill assembled crêpes for up to 2 hours before serving.
  
  Tips for Success
  Pandan Juice: To make fresh pandan juice, blend 10-12 pandan leaves with 1 cup of water, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Frozen pandan leaves work well if fresh ones aren’t available.
  Crêpe Thickness: If your crêpes are too thick, thin the batter with a tablespoon or two of water. Aim for a batter that spreads easily in the pan.
  Custard Texture: If the custard becomes lumpy, strain it through a fine sieve while still warm for a silky-smooth finish.
  Make Ahead: Prepare the batter, custard, and whipped cream a day in advance and store in the refrigerator. Cook the crêpes fresh for the best texture.
  Storage: Store leftover crêpes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. Custard and whipped cream can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  
  Serving Suggestions
  For Home Enjoyment: Serve these crêpes as a decadent breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Pair with a tropical drink like coconut water or a mango lassi for a complete experience.
  For Events: Arrange the crêpes on a dessert table with a variety of fruit toppings for guests to customize. Add edible flowers for a stunning visual effect.
  For Small Businesses: Offer these crêpes at farmers’ markets, food trucks, or cafés. Create a signature version with unique fillings like durian cream or matcha whipped cream to stand out. Package them in eco-friendly boxes for takeout appeal.
