Ingredients

      Whipping Cream:

    • 6 tbsp Powdered Sugar
    • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
    • 2 tsp vanilla
    • 1 large spoonful Hershey’s cocoa (optional)

      • Crepes Filling:

    • 16 ounces ricotta cheese
    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
    • Chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended)

      • Crepes:

    • 1 cup AP flour
    • 1 + 1/3 cups milk
    • 4 eggs


Directions

    Whipping Cream:

  1. Pour heaving whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla and cocoa (optional) in a bowl (or sealable jar). Mix with an electric mixer, hand shake, or mix with a paint mixer (Nono’s suggestion). An electric mixer is highly recommended. See Note 1.
  2. Mix until the ingredients thicken. The cream should make peaks. Your decision how thick you want it!
  3. Refrigerate until you are ready for it.

    4. Crepes Filling:

  4. In a large bowl, add ricotta cheese and powdered sugar. Stir.
  5. Add chocolate chips (optional). Add as much or a little as you like.
  6. Set aside (in or out of refrigerator) until you are ready for it.

    7. Crepes:

  7. In a large bowl, add flour, milk, and eggs. Mix
  8. Mix until smooth (no lumps).
  9. Heat a small non-stick pan (or use a little non stick spray or butter to prevent sticking).
  10. Pour 1/3 cup mixture in to the pan. You want the mixture to spread out. The crepe is meant to be thin.
  11. Cook until the crepe is slightly brown on one side and flip.
  12. Cook the other side until lightly browned.

    13. Assembly:

  13. Put the crepe on a plate.
  14. Add the filling in a line across the crepe’s center.
  15. Add fruit of your choice (Chef Wolfie recommends blueberries and raspberries).
  16. Fold one side over the filling and then the other.
  17. Scope some whipping cream over the top.
  18. Eat.


Note 1: Nonna put the ingredients in a jar and Nono shook it for 30 mins (give or take). The mixture thickened into soft peaks. An electric mixture would work much faster. Start with a slow speed and then increase as the cream thickens.
