Delicate dark chocolate crepes filled with sweet strawberries and whipped cream make for a Valentine's Day worthy breakfast in bed or romantic dessert!
You will need:
For the chocolate crepes,
  • Milk - 2 cups
  • Eggs - 2
  • Oil or melted butter - 3 tbsp
  • Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
  • All purpose flour - 1½ cups
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder - ⅓ cup
  • Sugar - 2 tbsp
  • Salt - a pinch
  • Heavy cream - 1 cup
  • Powdered sugar - 3 tbsp
  • Strawberries - 1 lb, sliced
How to:
  1. Blend the milk, eggs, oil/butter and vanilla extract till just combined. Add the flour, cocoa powder, sugar and salt and blend for a few seconds till smooth. Refrigerate batter for 1-2 hours or overnight.
  2. When you are ready to make the crepes, heat a large griddle or skillet or crepe pan on medium heat. Lightly rub melted butter on the pan with a wad of tissue paper.
  3. Pour ΒΌ cup worth batter in the center of the pan and swirl the pan so that the batter evenly covers the bottom. Cook the crepe till you see bubbles appearing on the surface. Flip the crepe as soon as you see the edges turning a light golden brown. Cook the other side for just a few seconds and remove onto a plate.
  4. Repeat till all the batter is used up, stacking the crepes on the plate.
  5. To make the filling, take the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a cold bowl. Using a mixer or whisk, beat the cream till soft peaks peaks form.

  7. Repeat with all crepes. Serve at room temperature or cold.
