Chocolate Crepes with Nutmeg Vanilla Sauce
Cook: 18 mins
Stand: 20 mins
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Nutmeg Vanilla Sauce (recipe below)
- Chocolate curls
Directions
1. In a small bowl, stir together flour, 1/3 cup sugar, and cocoa powder; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, butter, and vanilla; add flour mixture and whisk until combined. Let batter stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
2. Heat a lightly greased 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat; remove from heat. Pour 3 tablespoons of batter into center of skillet. Lift and tilt skillet to spread batter and coat bottom of pan. Return skillet to heat; cook one side only about 121/2 minutes or until the top is no longer shiny. Invert pan over paper towels to remove finished crepes. Repeat with remaining batter, making 12 crepes total. (Adjust heat as necessary during cooking, greasing skillet and stirring batter if needed.)
3. In a chilled medium bowl combine whipping cream and 2 tablespoons sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
4. To serve, fold each crepe in half. Fold in half again, forming a triangle. Place two crepes on each of six shallow dessert plates. Drizzle with Nutmeg Vanilla Sauce; top with whipped cream and chocolate curls. Makes 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg or 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions
In a small saucepan, stir together egg yolks, milk, and sugar. Cook and stir continuously with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula over medium heat until mixture thickens and just coats the back of a clean metal spoon. Remove pan from heat. Stir in vanilla and nutmeg. Quickly cool the custard sauce by placing the saucepan in a large bowl of ice water for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour custard sauce into a bowl. Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for at least 1 hour, without stirring, before serving. Makes about 1 cup.
