Our basic crepe recipe is simple—the egg-based batter comes together in the blender—and you'll quickly become a pro at pouring, swirling, and serving them. The filling is a simple mixture of whipped cream (easy to make by hand), mint extract, and chocolate chips, and the crepes are topped with crushed mint cookies—yes, you can use leftover Thin Mints—and a sprig of fresh mint. While they're easy enough for a special weeknight dessert, they'd also be perfect for a DIY crepe party—fun for both kids and adults! Start by making the crepes before guests arrive and stack them on a decorative plate. Alternatively, make the crepes the night before, store them in the refrigerator, then warm them up the day of in the microwave or oven before serving. Let guests spread the whipped cream, sprinkle on the chocolate chips, fold them up, and pile on the toppings. The best part of this dessert? Unlike ice cream, which is typically a warm-weather treat, crepes can be enjoyed all year round. Ingredients 1 batch crepe batter 3 cups whipped cream 1 teaspoon mint extract ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips hot fudge, for drizzling 16 mint cookies, crushed fresh mint, for garnish Directions Make the crepe batter. Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ¼ cup of the crepe batter and swirl the skillet so the batter completely covers the bottom of the pan. Cook 2-3 minutes. Gently loosen the edge of the crepe with a spatula and, using your fingers and the spatula, flip the crepe. Continue to cook until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter. In a large bowl, stir together the whipped cream and the mint extract. Fold in the chocolate chips. Spread the whipped cream on half of each crepe, then fold in half, and in half again to form a triangle. Drizzle hot fudge over each crepe. Sprinkle on the crushed cookies, and garnish with a mint leaf. Wendy Granger Rate it Print
