Directions
- 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.
- Mix until the ingredients thicken. The cream should make peaks. Your decision how thick you want it!
- Refrigerate until you are ready for it.
- In a large bowl, add ricotta cheese and powdered sugar. Stir.
- Add chocolate chips (optional). Add as much or a little as you like.
- Set aside (in or out of refrigerator) until you are ready for it.
- In a large bowl, add flour, milk, and eggs. Mix
- Mix until smooth (no lumps).
- Heat a small non-stick pan (or use a little non stick spray or butter to prevent sticking).
- Pour 1/3 cup mixture in to the pan. You want the mixture to spread out. The crepe is meant to be thin.
- Cook until the crepe is slightly brown on one side and flip.
- Cook the other side until lightly browned.
- Put the crepe on a plate.
- Add the filling in a line across the crepe’s center.
- Add fruit of your choice (Chef Wolfie recommends blueberries and raspberries).
- Fold one side over the filling and then the other.
- Scope some whipping cream over the top.
- Eat.

Assembly:
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.
