11. Pour in a ladle full of your crepe batter and spread evenly as thin as possible.
12. Cook for one minute then flip the crepe upside down and wait for 30 seconds.
13. Remove your crepe from the pan to a plate and cover with a piece of parchment.
14. Repeat until you finish all the batter, putting a sheet of parchment paper between each crepe.
15. You should get around 20 crepes.
16. Leave the crepes to cool down.

18. Combine the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
19. Fit the mixer with the whisk attachment and mix on medium speed until smooth.
20. While the mixture is still whipping, slowly pour in the heavy cream.
21. Stop and scrape the bottom of the bowl a couple of times while you continue whipping until the cream can hold a stiff peak.
22. Set into the refrigerator to keep cool.

Assembly

1. Lay one crepe on a flat plate.
2. Spread the filling evenly on the surface,and be sure it is not too thick.
3. Cover the filling with another crepe and repeat until you have used all the crepe.
4. Place your cake in the refrigerator for 3-5 hours to let it set and serve it cool.
5. The thing you try to achieve in a good mille crepe is to have the crepes thinner than the cream layers.
