Post V-Day Celebration

In honor of the day after the most disappointing day of the year (kidding mostly haha), I made a chocolatey dinner of deliciousness. Originally, I used a recipe for the crepes I found online, but the batter just wasn't working for me, so I modified the ingredients and measurements by combining it with another crepe recipe I have. So here it is, enjoy!



Crepe Recipe:
 1 c Flour
2 Eggs
1/2 c Milk
1/2 c Water
2 TB Butter, melted
1/4 c Sugar
1/4 c Cocoa Powder

Whisk all ingredients together. Pour 1/4 c of batter into frying pan at low-medium heat (spray with cooking spray first). When the crepe is solid enough, flip it. Each crepe should take a couple minutes.
Makes 6-8 crepes depending on size and thickness.

Filling Recipe:
Cream Cheese
Jam

Let cream cheese soften, then mix together with jam (I used raspberry).

Chocolate Topping:
Powdered Sugar
Cocoa Powder
Milk
Chocolate
Corn Starch

Combine sugar and cocoa in a double boiler. Whisk in milk. Add a little solid chocolate and stir until melted. Whisk in a little corn starch at a time until the sauce starts to thicken.

Assembly:

Spread a little bit of the jam mixture on a crepe. Add diced strawberries- or any preferred fruit really- and roll the crepe up laying seam side down. Sift powdered sugar on top of crepes, then pour some of the chocolate sauce over them. Add some extra strawberries on top.

Another cool idea for decoration- shaved chocolate : )
