These Strawberry Cream Chocolate Crepes were just what I needed after an insanely busy day. The moment the batter hit my 1970’s crepe maker I was ecstatic (well…probably also elated that the thing still worked after years of dormancy).
My Mom actually gave me the crepe maker years ago and I haven’t had a chance to use it since having kids. I knew that it was time to break it out and make my husband a very happy man. I have never actually had a chocolate crepe before, but I thought that the combination of chocolate crepes, creamy goodness and strawberries would make this dessert a real showstopper. Oh Man was I right this time!
The other reason for my instantaneous change in mood had to be the delicious aroma of chocolate delight in a thin pancake form. My husband kept sniffing the air and telling me how good they smelled. You can probably tell that my true passion is for all things pancakey. There are just so many endless possibilities to these delights. Let’s just say that a low carb diet will never be in my future.
Okay, so I am getting excited and sidetracked here. My first experience with crepes was at a little cafe in Chesterfield that closed down after a brief period. I don’t even remember the name, but the menu was solely crepes. This was super exciting to me (leave it to me to hang out at such places in high school). While there, I ordered a basic dessert crepe with strawberry filling and it was love at first bite for me! Apparently, my version was also very enticing to my 16 month old daughter, Mackenzie. I went down to the basement to search for some food props and when I returned, she had rammed down the baby gate and was finger deep in my strawberry topping! The strawberry bandit strikes again!
