Time 1m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 eggs
½ cup milk
½ cup water
¾ cup all-purpose flour
6 teaspoons white sugar
⅓ tablespoon butter or margarine
1 fluid ounce cognac
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
3 cups heavy cream
4 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
½ cup butter or margarine
1 ¼ cups nonfat evaporated milk
2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar

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.

I'm going to try making these crepes again, but I'll make a few changes to the recipe. I'll use less chocolate and add some fruit.

I would give these crepes a 3 out of 5. They were good, but not great.

These crepes were okay, but I've definitely had better. The chocolate flavor was a bit too strong for my taste.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my crepes turned out rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't come out right.

I was skeptical at first, but these crepes were actually really good. The chocolate flavor was subtle, and the texture was light and fluffy.

These crepes were so easy to make and turned out perfectly! I'm not a professional chef, but I was able to follow the recipe easily and create a delicious dish.

These crepes were melt-in-my-mouth delicious! The chocolate flavor was rich and decadent, and the texture was delicate and fluffy. I topped mine with whipped cream and fresh berries, and it was the perfect breakfast treat.
