Gluten Free Crepe Cake with Pastry Cream

In medium bowl, whisk first amount of milk and sugar with egg yolks and cornstarch.
Combine second amount of milk and sugar in medium saucepan, add vanilla. Set over medium heat and bring to simmer without stirring.
When hot, remove from heat and gradually whisk into egg yolk mixture.
Return to saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until cream simmers and thickens, 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat, whisk until smooth.
Transfer to bowl and press plastic wrap or wax paper directly on the surface to prevent a film from forming. Refrigerate until cold, 3-4 hours or overnight.

In a medium bowl whisk milk and eggs. Add melted butter, stir and set aside.
In a large bowl combine flour, sugar and salt. Add egg mixture and whisk until evenly combined.
Heat 10-inch non-stick pan(s) over medium-high heat. When hot add 1 teaspoon of oil, swirl in bottom of pan and wipe away excess with paper towel.
Pour ⅓ cup batter into the hot pan. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan so the batter coats the entire surface as quickly as possible. Cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
Flip crepe, cook for another 1½-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Return pan to heat, add more oil if needed. Using paper towel continue wiping away any excess oil and flecks of cooked crepe batter.
Repeat until all batter is used stacking crepes on top of each other as you go. Cool completely before assembling Crepe Cake.

Place one crepe in center of serving platter.
Spread filling over crepe being careful to keep it thin in the center but go right to the edges of every crepe. The goal is a flat cake, not high in the center and drooping around the edges.
Add each crepe and repeat until you have used up the filling. 24 crepes makes a nice high cake.
Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

Sprinkle gelatin over cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes until a thick semi-solid.
Microwave 5-10 seconds until just melted. Whisk until smooth and add to whipping cream as it whips. Continue beating to soft or stiff peaks. Decorate as desired.
Garnish with fresh strawberries.
