Dark Chocolate Strawberry Crepes & Pumpkin Spice Crepes
Makes 4 Crepes, 2 of each flavor
Box KB Naturals All Natural Crepe Mix (I used 4 tbsp of mix per crepe, so 16tbsp in all)
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup water
1 package cool whip
Dark Chocolate Strawberry Crepes:
6 large strawberries slices and coated with 1 tbsp of sugar
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 tbsp powdered sugar
Pumpkin Spice Crepes
12 oz can pumpkin puree
2 tbsp cinnamon
Make the Crepe batter by blending all ingredients with a whisk. Heat a well greased pan to medium heat. Pour 1/4 of the batter in to the pan, enough to coat the bottom completely. My crepes are always thicker than traditional crepes and are more like pancakes, but we enjoy them, so I continue to make them this way. Cook the Crepe for about 30 seconds or until it looks dry on the side you can see. Do not try to flip it or you will probably break it. Once it's ready, pour the crepe out onto a plate for filling.
For the Dark Chocolate Strawberry Crepe, add half of your strawberry-sugar mixture to the middle of the crepe, similar to filling a tortilla shell. Add half of the chocolate chips on top of the strawberry so that they will begin to melt.
Fold in both sides of the crepe so that the filling is wrapped in the crepe. Add a few dollops of cool whip and sprinkle the top with powdered sugar and a few chocolate chips for show. Repeat for second crepe.
For the Cinnamon Pumpkin Crepe take all but a tbsp of the cinnamon and add it to the pumpkin puree. Mix together the cinnamon until it is cleanly mixed in the puree. Pour half of the puree in a line into the middle of the crepe.
Again, turn in both sides of the crepe to surround the filling. Top with dollops of cool whip and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon on top. Repeat for second crepe.
These are very filling and rich, so I suggest a glass of milk to wash them down. They made for a wonderfully tasty Sunday brunch.
