Ingredients
Crêpes
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¼ cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon table salt
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Chocolate Sauce
- 3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (or about ⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ tablespoon light corn syrup
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Vanilla Whipped Cream
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1⅓ cups mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)
Preparation
- Prepare the crêpes: Melt butter with the milk in a small saucepan over low heat. While butter is melting, combine the flour, salt and sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. Whisk in the egg and vanilla until mixture resembles a thick and sticky batter. Whisk in the milk and butter mixture until the batter is smooth. If time allows, leave the batter to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the chocolate sauce: Place the chocolate in a medium bowl; reserve. In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the cream, corn syrup, vanilla and salt. Set over low heat and bring to a strong simmer. Immediately pour over the reserved chocolate and let sit for five minutes before whisking to combine. Reserve.
- Prepare the vanilla whipped cream: In a large bowl, whisk the cream, vanilla and sugar together until medium-stiff peaks have formed. Reserve.
- Fit the Cuisinart® Griddler® with the griddle plates and preheat both to medium. Once the grill is preheated, pour ¼ cup batter onto each griddle plate and spread out very thin and evenly with a small offset spatula or small silicone spatula. Cook the crêpes for 2 to 3 minutes, until the edges start to brown; flip and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat to finish batter.
- Serve each with a dollop of the vanilla cream and fresh berries; drizzle the chocolate sauce over.
