Chocolate crepes

Delicious chocolate crêpes that are perfect for breakfast or dessert. Serve with your favourite jam, Nutella, fresh fruit or a sweet curd cheese filling. Easy to make and wonderfully indulgent.

Makes 20 crepes.

Ingredients for the chocolate crepes:

• 80 g dark chocolate (minimum 60% cocoa)
• 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 500 ml milk
• 1 (to 1 and 1/4) cup plain flour
• 3 large eggs
• 3 Tbsp icing sugar
• 2 Tbsp butter, melted
• 3 Tbsp dark rum
• pinch of salt

Gently heat the milk in a saucepan. Add the chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until you have a smooth batter. Leave to rest for 30–60 minutes.

Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and lightly brush with oil. Pour in a small amount of batter, swirling the pan to coat the base evenly. Cook on both sides until just set — avoid overcooking, as softer crêpes have the best texture. Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly oiling the pan between each crêpe.

Serve with your favourite toppings.

Enjoy!
