CHOCOLATE-STRAWBERRY CREPES

• Preheat a 10-inch nonstick crepe pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Melt 1 cube of butter in the pan. Add 1/4 cup of batter and quickly tilt the pan to form an even coating of batter on the bottom of the pan. Cook until set, about 1 minute. Using a heat-resistant spatula, carefully loosen the sides and gently flip the crepe over. Cook for 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter and butter.
• For the filling: Mix the jam and mascarpone in a small bowl until smooth.
• Spread each crepe with 3 tablespoons of the jam mixture leaving a 1/2-inch border. Fold the two opposite ends of each crepe inward and roll into a tube shape. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Arrange the crepes on a platter.

CHOCOLATE CREPE BATTER

Steps:

• Beat the eggs, then add the buttermilk and vanilla and mix well by hand or in an electric blender. We use a blender because it mixes well and is easy to pour from.
• Sift the flour with the sugar and cocoa and slowly add to the egg and buttermilk mixture.
• Stir in the melted butter or vegetable oil and blend thoroughly.
• If beating by hand, strain the mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps.
• Set aside and allow mixture to stand for at least an hour before using (my kids can't do that!). If the batter is too thick, add a little milk and mix.
• Pour one or two tablespoons of the batter in the centre of a hot, nonstick frying pan. Tilt to spread the batter to the edges of the pan. Cook until the top is dry. Turn over and cook the other side for about 15 seconds. Don't worry if the first couple aren't perfect - those are the trial ones for me!
• You can roll these with strawberries inside and top with whipped cream. Be adventuresome and try it with whatever sounds good with chocolate!

GORDON RAMSAY'S CHOCOLATE CREPES RECIPE

Steps:

• For the crêpes, sift the flour, cocoa powder and salt into a bowl and stir in the sugar. Make a well in the centre and tip in the beaten eggs, melted butter, milk and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine the ingredients and form a smooth batter, but try not to overwork the mixture. Leave to stand or chill for at least 30 mins.
• For the chocolate sauce, break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Add the butter and honey and allow to melt, stirring from time to time. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth sauce. If necessary, warm the sauce slightly before serving.
• For the crème chantilly, in a bowl, whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla extract to soft peaks. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• To cook the crêpes, place a non-stick crêpe pan over a medium heat and add a knob of butter. When melted, tilt the pan so that the butter coats the base. Add a small ladleful of batter and swirl to evenly coat the base of the pan in a thin layer. Cook for about 1½ mins until the batter is set and golden brown underneath. Flip over to cook the other side for a minute. Transfer to a warm plate and wrap in a tea towel to keep warm. Repeat with the rest of the batter, stacking the crêpes interleaved with greaseproof paper in the tea towel as they are cooked.
• To serve, spread a layer of crème chantilly over one half of each crêpe, scatter with a few toasted almonds. Fold the plain half of the crêpe over the filling to enclose, then fold again into quarters. Place one filled crêpe
• on each serving plate and drizzle over the chocolate sauce. Scatter over a few toasted almonds, and if you wish, top with some candied orange zest.

CHOCOLATE CREPES

Steps:

• Crepe batter: in a large bowl, mix together eggs, milk, water, flour, sugar, 1 teaspoon butter, and cognac.
• Filling: beat pudding mix, instant coffee and whipping cream together with an electric mixer until the mixture is thick.
• Sauce: in a small saucepan, melt the chocolate, butter, evaporated milk, and confectioners' sugar together until the mixture is a little thick.
• Crepes: heat a small skillet (or crepe pan) to a high temperature. Place a small amount of batter into the skillet and swirl it around until the batter covers the bottom of the pan. When the crepe is slightly browned flip the crepe over and let the other side brown for a few seconds. The first crepe will most likely not turn out well, but the rest will. Stack the crepes on top of each other to let tem cool before filling.
• Spoon the filling into the center of each crepe and roll the crepe up around it. Spoon the sauce over the crepes and serve.
