Chocolate raspberry crêpes

Servings: 8 crêpes Ingredients: 11/3 cups (200 g) plain Cora crêpe mix 11/3 cups (325 ml) milk (or plant-based beverage) 2 strawberries per bowl 10 blueberries per bowl 4 blackberries per bowl 5 raspberries per bowl Whipped cream Mint leaves After Eight chocolates   Chocolate custard 1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar 2 eggs 1/4 cup (60 ml) all-purpose flour 1 tbsp. (15 ml) cornstarch 2 cups (500 ml) milk 2 tsp. (10 ml) vanilla extract 13/4 oz. (50 g) chocolate chips   Preparation: For the custard On a work surface, whisk together the sugar and eggs in a saucepan. Add the flour and cornstarch and mix well. Stir in the milk, vanilla and chocolate. Bring mixture to the boil over medium heat, constantly stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan. Allow to simmer for 1–2 minutes. Stir to make sure the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour into a container and place plastic wrap directly on the surface to cover. Refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2–3 hours. For the crêpe bowls To prepare 8 crêpes, place the Cora crêpe mix and milk (or plant-based beverage) in a bowl and vigorously whisk together until the batter is smooth. Lightly oil a non-stick pan and heat over medium high. Add ¼ cup (60 ml) of the batter to the centre of the pan and rotate the pan to spread the batter uniformly over the surface. When the edge has coloured and easily lifts away, after about 1 minute, flip the crêpe over using a spatula and continue cooking for 30 seconds or until cooked. Remove the crêpe from the pan. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 with the remaining batter. Preheat oven to 300°F (149°C). Place the crêpes in lightly greased ovenproof bowls (one crêpe per bowl). Place in the oven for 15–20 minutes, just long enough for the crêpes to harden. Once the crêpes have cooled, carefully unmould and set aside. Slice the strawberries and mix all the fruit together in a bowl. Place ¼ cup (60 ml) of custard in each crêpe bowl. Arrange the fruit on top. Garnish with some whipped cream, mint leaves and an After Eight chocolate. Bon appétit!

Servings: 8 crêpes (24 crêpe wheels) Ingredients: 11/3 cups (200 g) plain Cora crêpe mix 11/3 cups (325 ml) milk (or plant-based beverage) 2 cups (500 ml) Nutella-type spread Decorative sprinkles 4-inch wooden skewers   Preparation: To make 8 crêpes, place the Cora crêpe mix and milk in a bowl. Whisk together vigorously until batter is smooth and consistent. Lightly oil a non-stick pan and heat over medium high. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the batter to the centre of the pan and rotate the pan to spread the batter uniformly over the surface.

Repeat Steps 2 and 3 with the remaining batter. Spread ¼ cup (60 ml) of the Nutella-type spread over each crêpe, making sure to cover the entire surface.  Take a crêpe and “stack” it on top of another vertically so they overlap halfway, like 2 linked rings. Starting at the bottom, tightly roll up the crêpe. Repeat the procedure with the remaining crêpes. Cover the four crêpe rolls in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for two hours. Remove the plastic wrap from the frozen crêpes and cut each one into 6 equal pieces. Stick a skewer into each piece like a pinwheel. Using a knife, spread a little more of the spread on the outside of the crêpe wheels and roll in the sprinkles to coat. Bon appétit!

Servings: 8 crêpes Ingredients: 8 bacon slices, cooked crisp 1 1/3 cups (200 g) Cora plain crêpe mix 1 1/3 cups (325 ml) milk (or plant-based beverage) 1 cup coco-hazelnut spread 24 regular-sized marshmallows Preparation: Cook the bacon until nice and crispy. Set aside on a plate. In a large bowl, whip the Cora crêpe mix with the milk until the batter is smooth. Lightly oil a small non-stick skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 (60 ml) cup of the batter to the centre of the pan and rotate the pan to spread the mixture evenly. When the edge lifts away easily and starts to brown, after about 1 minute, flip the crêpe over using a spatula and cook for a further 30 seconds or until cooked through. Remove crêpe from skillet. Repeat until all the batter has been used. Assemble each crêpe by placing it on a plate and spreading ¼ (60ml) cup of the coco-hazelnut spread in the centre from top to bottom. Next place 1 slice of bacon and then 3 marshmallows on top of the spread in that order. Fold in two sides of the crêpe to make a rim (it will help keep the filling inside) and roll up. Wrap each roll in a sheet of aluminum foil. Using tongs, place them close to the fire and leave for about 30 to 45 minutes. This will heat the crêpes up just enough to melt the inside. Enjoy your campfire treat!
