CREPES AND HOT CHOCOLATE SAUCE

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.

CRêPES WITH ICE CREAM AND CHOCOLATE SAUCE



Crêpes with Ice Cream and Chocolate Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Chocolate     Dessert     Low Cal

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • Place the eggs in a blender and pulse a few times to break them up. Add the milk, oil, flour, and salt and blend until smooth.
  • Heat a small (8- or 9-inch) nonstick sauté 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 crêpe batter and quickly swirl the pan around until it covers the entire bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the crêpe is set in the center. Loosen the edges with a spatula and turn the crêpe 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 crêpe.
  • 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.
  • Fold the crêpes 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.
  • Food for Thought
  • Okay, admittedly there is nothing low-cal about this recipe, but all is not lost. Crêpes are only about 95 calories each. So if you skip the chocolate sauce and go for fresh strawberries, you could save a lot of calories and still have a luscious dessert.
