Best Chocolate Crepes With Banana Recipes

CHOCOLATE BANANA CREPES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together 1/2 cup milk, 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter, egg yolk, vanilla, and 2 teaspoons hazelnut liqueur. Whisk 1 tablespoon cocoa into liquid until completely incorporated. Next, whisk in 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar until completely incorporated. Then gradually whisk in flour until completely incorporated. Set aside.
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir 1 tablespoon milk and 2 teaspoons hazelnut liqueur into melted butter. Stir in 1 tablespoon cocoa and 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar. Set over very low heat to keep warm.
• Spray a non-stick frying pan or crepe pan with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan, and swirl to form a very thin disk; cook for about 2 minutes. Flip, and cook about 1 minute more.
• Place crepe on a plate. Add 1/4 sliced bananas to crepe, and spoon 1/4 of the chocolate sauce over the bananas. Roll or fold crepe, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Repeat steps 3 and 4. Serve crepes warm.

SKINNY CHOCOLATE CREPES WITH BANANA-PECAN TOPPING

Steps:

• For crepe batter: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Add milk, egg product, oil, and vanilla; whisk until combined.
• Heat a lightly oiled 7- to 8-inch nonstick skillet with flared side over medium heat. Remove from heat. Spoon in about 2 tablespoons of the crepe batter; lift and tilt skillet to spread batter. Return to heat; cook until top is set and dry (30 to 45 seconds). (Or cook on a crepe maker according to manufacturer directions.) Invert skillet over paper towels; remove crepe. Repeat with remaining batter, oiling skillet occasionally. (Should have 8 or 9 crepes.) Set crepes aside.
• Peel bananas; halve lengthwise, then crosswise. Preheat a lightly oiled nonstick grill pan or large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Grill or cook bananas for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned and softened, turning once. Remove bananas from grill pan or skillet.
• In a small saucepan, heat ice cream topping over low heat until heated through. Remove from heat; stir in rum extract.
• To serve, divide crepes among eight dessert plates, folding crepes as desired. Top crepes with banana pieces; drizzle with caramel mixture. Sprinkle with pecans.

BANANA CHOCOLATE CREPE

Steps:

• Prepare the Crepe recipe. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove or in a microwave-safe bowl. Once the chocolate is melted spread about 1 ounce of it on the prepared crepe. Place the banana on the end of the crepe and roll up the crepe with the banana inside. Place the rolled-up crepe on a cooking sheet and put in oven to warm up, about 4 to 6 minutes. To serve: Take 6 bamboo skewers and push them through the crepe at 1/2-inch intervals. With a sharp knife cut between each skewer. Arrange the pieces with the cut-sides up on a plate. Drizzle with the remaining chocolate, sea salt, and chopped walnuts.
• To make the crepes: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter and beat until smooth. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the hot griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Place on paper or cutting board to allow the crepe to cool.
