GRASSHOPPER CREPES

Steps:

• Heat marshmallows and milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring almost constantly, until marshmallows just melt.
• Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon, about 1/2 hour.
• Stir liqueurs and several drops food coloring into marshmallow mixture.
• Beat 1 cup heavy cream until stiff, and fold marshmallow mixture into whipped cream.
• Fill cooked crepes, roll into cylinders, and chill until firm.
• Place two crepes on each dessert plate, top with extra whipped cream, and sprinkle with grated chocolate if desired.
• Refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving.
• Makes 12 crepes, for 6 generous servings.
• Recipe is Extremely rich.
• One or two crepes is plenty for almost anyone.
• Recipe can be cut in half.
• Chocolate Crepes:.
• In mixing bowl, beat eggs.
• Add flour sugar and cocoa alternately with buttermilk, whisking until smooth.
• Refrigerate batter 1 hour before cooking.
• To cook, spray a nonstick (preferably) crepe pan with nonstick spray, and heat over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles and dances when it hits the pan.
• Ladle about 2-3 Tbsp of batter into pan, and swirl until it completely coats the bottom of the pan.
• If you have any excess batter in the pan, just dump it back into the bowl.
• Cook just until the edges of the crepe begin to look dry and a little crisp.
• Turn over, and cook the other side for about 20-30 seconds longer.
• Turn out onto a towel to cool, and repeat for the next crepe.
• It should not be necessary to separate the crepes with wax paper to prevent sticking, but you may, if desired.
• Recipe makes about 1 dozen crepes, but I usually double it and store the extra crepes in the freezer.
• Just wrap the crepes in a couple paper towels, put them in a freezer-safe plastic bag, and freezer for up to 6 months.
