Instructions
Place all of the ingredients needed for the crepes into a blender. If your blender is smaller, split the recipe in half and prepare twice.
Blend ingredients until smooth and clump free. If you don't have a blender you first whisk all the liquid ingredients together and then gradually add in the flour, whisking until no clumps remain.
Preheat a 9-inch non-stick crepe pan or frying pan over medium heat and set an extra plate aside to stack finished crepes
Add 1/4 cup crepe batter into the center and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly to the edges using a circular motion
Once the edges of the crepe turn golden, use a rubber spatula to flip the crepe over cooking about 30 seconds on the second side
Stack ready crepes onto the prepared plate and allow them to cool completely before assembling the cake
While the crepes cool prepare the filling
In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree with the pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, brown sugar, and granulated sugar
In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer, combine the cream cheese and the heavy cream until combined
Gradually add the pumpkin mixture to the cream cheese and heavy cream mixture at medium speed
Once fully added keep mixing until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-mix! Overmixed filling will separate.
Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Drop a crepe into the pan first, followed by 1/4 cup of filling.
Spread the filling evenly to the edges and continue with remaining crepes and filling
Leave the last crepe with no filling on top
Cover the crepe cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight
Once the cake is set, invert the cake onto a cake platter. Remove the spring form pan and then dust the top with cinnamon and sugar
Remove cake about 30 minutes prior to serving; otherwise, keep refrigerated
