CREPES AND HOT CHOCOLATE SAUCE



Crepes and Hot Chocolate Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon dark rum
Grapeseed oil spray, for the pan
Hot Chocolate Sauce, recipe follows
4 1/2 ounces chopped dark chocolate
2 1/2 cups water
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups cocoa powder
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt, and set aside. In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat. Add the warmed milk and butter to the flour mixture, followed by the eggs and the rum. Use an immersion blender to mix the batter until thoroughly combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or in the refrigerator overnight.
  • To make the crepes, spray an 8-inch saute pan with grapeseed oil spray, wipe it clean, and turn the heat to high. (You'll know the pan is ready when it just begins to smoke.) Using a 2-ounce ladle, ladle out crepe batter into the hot pan and tilt the pan to spread the batter into an even circle. After 45 seconds, when the top is dry, flip the crepe over and cook on the other side for 20 seconds, until it just starts to brown at the edges. Fold the crepe in half and transfer it to a sheet pan lined with foil. Repeat this process with the remaining crepe batter.
  • Place one crepe on a plate and top with Hot Chocolate Sauce. Fold the sides over and repeat with another crepe on the same plate (you will have two crepes for each serving.) Repeat with the remaining crepes and serve.
  • Place the chocolate in a large bowl and set aside. Combine the water, sugar, cocoa powder, and cream in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate, setting the saucepan aside, and whisk until smooth. Pour the chocolate sauce into a sieve set over the reserved saucepan and keep warm until ready to use.

Provided by LucasvilleGourmet

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Crepes

Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
½ cup milk
½ cup cold water
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup smooth peanut butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon rum-flavored extract
1 ⅓ cups milk chocolate chips
¾ cup 18% cream, at room temperature
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Blend flour, eggs, milk, cold water, and butter together in a food processor or blender until smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape batter off the sides with a rubber spatula and blend 15 seconds more. Place batter in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour.
  • Beat peanut butter in the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment until smooth and creamy. Beat confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, into creamed peanut butter, mixing well after each addition. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and rum-flavored extract and mix well. Store peanut butter filling in an air-tight container until 30 minutes before needed.
  • Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Remove the skillet from the burner; add a scant 1/4 cup batter to the center of the pan and swirl and tilt immediately to spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Return the skillet to the heat. Cook crepe until edges appear slightly dry and pull away from the pan, about 1 minute. Gently slip a thin spatula under the crepe and gently flip. Cook the second side until lightly browned on the bottom, 45 to 60 seconds. Transfer crepe to a plate. Repeat until all the batter is used, separating each crepe with waxed or parchment paper.
  • Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Mix cream and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract into the melted chocolate; cook, stirring frequently, until chocolate sauce is thickened, about 20 minutes.
  • Spread peanut butter filling over each crepe and drizzle warm chocolate sauce over filling. Fold crepe in half or roll crepe around filling for Suzette-style crepes.

Steps:

  • For the crepes: Combine the eggs, milk, flour, cocoa powder, sugar and salt in a blender or bowl. Blend or whisk by hand until the mixture forms a smooth batter.
  • Preheat a 10-inch nonstick crepe pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Melt 1 cube of butter in the pan. Add 1/4 cup of batter and quickly tilt the pan to form an even coating of batter on the bottom of the pan. Cook until set, about 1 minute. Using a heat-resistant spatula, carefully loosen the sides and gently flip the crepe over. Cook for 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter and butter.
  • For the filling: Mix the jam and mascarpone in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Spread each crepe with 3 tablespoons of the jam mixture leaving a 1/2-inch border. Fold the two opposite ends of each crepe inward and roll into a tube shape. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Arrange the crepes on a platter.
  • Heat the chocolate-hazelnut spread over low heat in a small saucepan, stirring constantly, until warm. Spoon over the crepes and serve.

Crepes With Ice Cream and Chocolate Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
2 Tbs. canola oil
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 pint vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Place eggs in a blender and pulse a few times to break them up. Add milk, oil, flour and salt and blend until smooth. Heat a small (8- or 9-inch) nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Place a small amount of oil on a paper towel and rub it over the surface of the pan. Pour in 1/4 cup of the crepe batter and quickly swirl the pan around until it covers the entire bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the crepe is set in the center. Loosen the edges with a spatula and turn the crepe over. Cook for 1 minute, or until very lightly browned, and remove from the pan. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, oiling the pan before cooking each crepe.
  • To make the sauce: Place the chocolate chips, cream and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and serve warm.To serve: Fold the crepes in quarters and arrange three in the center of each plate. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and spoon the chocolate sauce on top.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the taste of your crepes. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the crepes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the crepes over medium heat: Cooking the crepes over high heat will make them burn. Use medium heat and cook the crepes for about 1 minute per side, or until they are golden brown.
  • Serve the crepes immediately: Crepes are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet over low heat.

Conclusion:

Chocolate crepes are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect chocolate crepes every time. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give these chocolate crepes a try. You won't be disappointed!
