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
This looks incredible! I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for linking up with “Try a New Recipe Tuesday.” I hope you can join us again this week. http://our4kiddos.blogspot.com/2014/09/try-new-recipe-tuesday-september-16.html
Oh yummm! And great idea to use spring’s bounty of fresh strawberries! Great for breakfast, snack or dessert!
Thanks!
Yummy! We love having crepes every now and then; preferably with strawberries, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream too. My husband makes the best crepes.
Crepes are the best!
My goodness! This sounds so delicious. And chocolate…yes, please.
Looks like a real crowd pleaser!
