Chocolate Crepes

These are a delicous chocolate dessert version of my favorite crepes.   If you're needing to serve a crowd, you can easily double or triple this recipe.   If you're looking for the opposite of a dessert crepe, try either my hearty buckwheat crepes or my regular favorite crepe recipe, great for savory or sweet fillings.  We love filling these yummy chocolate crepes with whipped cream and bananas or strawberries.  Or, you can us a bit of homemade vanilla pudding or homemade chocolate pudding with your fruit.  Add a drizzle of homemade chocolate fudge saucehomemade caramel sauce, or sauce of your choice for a special treat.  Enjoy!

Chocolate Crepes

Makes ~6-7  10" crepes

In a large bowl, use a stick blender to combine the following: 
1 cup milk
1/3 cup cold water
2 eggs
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup arrowroot starch
1/4 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 - 1 tsp cinnamon OR 2 tsp orange zest (Optional)

Add and blend again until smooth: 
2 Tbsp melted butter
Crepe batter, ready to cook!

Place crepe pan over medium-high heat.  Allow it to heat well before cooking your crepes. 

Spoon batter onto heated crepe pan, lifted the pan and swirling quickly to spread the crepes evenly and thinly.  You can quickly add a little extra if there are spots that didn't get filled well.  Cook thin crepes over medium-high heat until the visible batter is dry.  I find these need just an extra 20-30 seconds more than my favorite regular crepes recipe before flipping.  Run a spatula around the edge of the pan before quickly flipping over your crepe. Allow it to cook another minute before removing to a large plate.   

Repeat with batter until finished. 
Let swirl to spread evenly around the pan.  You want to allow the batter to dry out before flipping.  Here it's starting to dry out in the center and still wet toward the edges.
Just flipped - just needs a brief cooking on this latter side.  

These are wonderful served with homemade vanilla pudding or whipped cream, bananas and chocolate sauce drizzled on top.  You could also serve them with strawberries, or other fruit of your choice.  Cover leftovers in plastic wrap and refrigerate.  Warm briefly in a microwave or let rest at room temperature and they'll separate without problem.  Enjoy!
