Chocolate-drizzled Strawberry Crepes

It’s been a while since we ate crepes, and with an abundance of strawberries and a reader’s suggestion, we made them for dinner the other night.  Now, we do not normally serve chocolate as part of our main course; we rarely even eat dessert, but with ganache in the fridge, this meal just screamed out for it.

Because my husband was away and a batch of crepe batter makes oodles of crepes, I made only half a batch, and that was barely enough.  I think my Big Helper would’ve happily eaten a few more.

“Mommy, these are DELICIOUS!”  she kept shouting.  “I need another one!”

So, with reviews like that, we might just have to have these a bit more often.

Here’s how to pull together your own Chocolate-drizzled Strawberry Crepes.

You’ll need fresh strawberries, washed and sliced; chocolate ganache, crepes, and whipped cream.

For the chocolate ganache, simply measure out equal parts of chocolate chips and heavy cream.  Put the chips in a heat-safe bowl and heat the cream on the stove until bubbles just begin to form – do not boil!  Whisk the cream into the chips into smooth.  Cool.

For the whipped cream, I put 1 c. of heavy cream into my KitchenAid with the whisk attachment and let it go to town.  It took less than 5 minutes to get seriously fluffy whipped cream – and the machine did all the work.

For the crepes, we made 1/2 batch of our Creative Crepe batter.  Just whisk the following together:

• 1/2 c. flour
• a few grains of Kosher salt
• 1 1/2 t. honey
• 1 c. + 2 T. milk (I just eyeballed the tablespoon part.)
• 1 T. melted butter
• 1 egg
