Crepes with Strawberries and Chocolate Sauce

Ingredients

For the Crepes

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3/4 cup whole milk

For the strawberry sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup rum

For the chocolate sauce

  • 100g dark Ghirardelli chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. For the crepes: in a medium bowl, beat the eggs with sugar, salt, and vanilla.
  2. Add flour to the mixture and whisk until really smooth.
  3. Whisk in the melted butter.
  4. Slowly add the milk while still whisking. Try not to add too much air to the mixture. Add more milk as needed.
  5. Bake the crepes on a flat, cast iron skillet with some butter, just until they start turning golden brown. Fold over twice into quarters and set aside on a warming plate or in the warm oven. Should yield 4 crepes.
  6. Put the chocolate chips in a small bowl.
  7. In a small sauce pan, heat up the cream, butter, and vanilla. Pour it over the chocolate chips and let it rest for at least 10 min.
  8. Meanwhile, prepare the strawberry sauce. Melt the butter in a large sauce pan and add the sliced strawberries. Cook over medium heat until softened.
  9. Stir in the sugar and keep cooking until foamy. Increase the heat, add the rum, let it warm up and light it with a match.
  10. When flames are gone, reduce the heat to low and add the crepes (still folded in quarters). Cover the crepes in the strawberry sauce.
  11. While crepes are soaking in the strawberry sauce, whisk the chocolate sauce until smooth.
  12. Place 2 crepes on each plate, add strawberry sauce, and decorate with chocolate sauce.
