CRêPES WITH ICE CREAM AND CHOCOLATE SAUCE
Steps:
- Place the eggs in a blender and pulse a few times to break them up. Add the milk, oil, flour, and salt and blend until smooth.
- Heat a small (8- or 9-inch) nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Place a small amount of oil on a paper towel and rub it over the surface of the pan. Pour in 1/4 cup of the crêpe batter and quickly swirl the pan around until it covers the entire bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the crêpe is set in the center. Loosen the edges with a spatula and turn the crêpe over. Cook for 1 minute, or until very lightly browned, and remove from the pan. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, oiling the pan before cooking each crêpe.
- Place the chocolate chips, cream, and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and serve warm.
- Fold the crêpes in quarters and arrange three in the center of each plate. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and spoon the chocolate sauce on top.
- Food for Thought
- Okay, admittedly there is nothing low-cal about this recipe, but all is not lost. Crêpes are only about 95 calories each. So if you skip the chocolate sauce and go for fresh strawberries, you could save a lot of calories and still have a luscious dessert.
SERENDIPITY'S CHOCOLATE CREPES
These thin chocolatey pancakes are so easy to prepare. I tried to make it with my nephews, but they kept sticking their fingers in the chocolate syrup. I didn't have brandy, so I used Kahlua instead and they came out fantastic, but you could use vanilla extract. These crepes are great warm, and extremely versatile. Get creative!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Add milk, brandy or vanilla, melted butter, and chocolate syrup, and stir. Whisk in flour slowly, so no lumps form. DO NOT OVERMIX; stop as soon as the flour is completely incorporated.
- In a crepe pan or large nonstick skillet, melt 1 teaspoon of butter over medium-high heat. Have two clean plates ready. When butter bubbles, quickly pour in one ladle (about 2 tablespoons) of crepe batter and roll the pan around so the entire bottom is covered in a very thin layer. Cook the crepe, shaking once or twice to prevent sticking, until most but not all of the batter on top has set, or the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Slide the crepe onto a plate, cooked side down. Quickly invert the plate into the pan, flipping the crepe. (If you're feeling brave, you can use a thin bladed spatula or palette knife to flip the crepe over.) Cook another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Slide onto the second to cool.
- Continue with remaining batter, adding more butter as necessary, stacking crepes on top of each other on second plate.
- There are so many different ways to serve these. Wrap a crepe around a scoop of ice cream and serve with powdered sugar and whipped cream. Wrap a crepe around a few tablespoonfuls of cherry pie filling, drizzle with chocolate sauce, and top with whipped cream. Spread a crepe with cream cheese (plain or flavored), sprinkle with fresh cut fruit or chocolate chips, roll up, and serve with whipped cream.

Steps:
- Crepe batter: in a large bowl, mix together eggs, milk, water, flour, sugar, 1 teaspoon butter, and cognac.
- Filling: beat pudding mix, instant coffee and whipping cream together with an electric mixer until the mixture is thick.
- Sauce: in a small saucepan, melt the chocolate, butter, evaporated milk, and confectioners' sugar together until the mixture is a little thick.
- Crepes: heat a small skillet (or crepe pan) to a high temperature. Place a small amount of batter into the skillet and swirl it around until the batter covers the bottom of the pan. When the crepe is slightly browned flip the crepe over and let the other side brown for a few seconds. The first crepe will most likely not turn out well, but the rest will. Stack the crepes on top of each other to let tem cool before filling.
- Spoon the filling into the center of each crepe and roll the crepe up around it. Spoon the sauce over the crepes and serve.

CHOCOLATE-CHERRY CREAM CREPES
My 17-year old son calls me a gourmet cook whenever I make his favorite crepes. Sometimes, for a change, I substitute apple pie filling for the cherries and top the golden crepes with warm caramel sauce.
