Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract.
Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, lightly grease it, and pour in about 1/4 cup of batter. Swirl to spread evenly.
Cook for 1–2 minutes, flip, and cook for another 30 seconds. Cool the crepes completely.
In a food processor, pulse pistachios until finely ground. Add maple syrup (or honey), vanilla, cream, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Chill until ready to use.
On a serving plate, place a crepe and spread a thin layer of pistachio cream. Repeat, stacking until all crepes are used, ending with a plain crepe on top.
Heat coconut milk until just simmering, then pour over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth to make ganache.
Pour ganache over the crepe cake, allowing it to drip over the edges. Garnish with crushed pistachios and shaved chocolate if desired.
Chill the cake for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Notes

Make crepes ahead and refrigerate with parchment between each.

Chill the cake thoroughly for clean slices.

Use roasted pistachios for a deeper flavor.

Store-bought crepes can save time.

Do not freeze; crepe and filling texture may suffer.
