2 tbsp sugar
Pinch of salt
12 ounces block cream cheese, softened at room temperature

Decoration
Directions
Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spread a small amount of butter in the pan, then add about 1/4 cup of batter, swirling the pan so that the batter coats the bottom in a thin layer.
Cook for approximately 30 seconds on each side, or until golden in color. Remove crepe from pan and let cool on a flat surface, such as a clean marble countertop, cutting board, or cookie sheet.
Repeat with remaining batter until you have 12-14 crepes.
In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer, whisk the cream cheese on high for 1 minute, or until smooth and creamy. Add butter to combine, then add confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon milk, and salt. Beat on medium-high until creamy (add additional milk if necessary).
Place one room temperature crepe on a serving platter. Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, top crepe with 1 scoop of frosting and spread frosting evenly over crepe with a plastic spatula. Add another crepe and repeat, alternating layers of crepes and frosting until all crepes are incorporated into the cake. Do not frost the final crepe.

Refrigerate cake for a minimum of 6 hours or until frosting has firmed up. To serve, top with dark chocolate shavings (use a vegetable peeler to shave curls of chocolate from a chocolate bar). Dust with a generous sprinkling of confectioners’ sugar. Slice and enjoy!
