CRêPES WITH ICE CREAM AND CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Categories Sauce Chocolate Dessert Low Cal

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 pint vanilla ice cream

Steps:

Place the eggs in a blender and pulse a few times to break them up. Add the milk, oil, flour, and salt and blend until smooth.
Heat a small (8- or 9-inch) nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Place a small amount of oil on a paper towel and rub it over the surface of the pan. Pour in 1/4 cup of the crêpe batter and quickly swirl the pan around until it covers the entire bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the crêpe is set in the center. Loosen the edges with a spatula and turn the crêpe over. Cook for 1 minute, or until very lightly browned, and remove from the pan. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, oiling the pan before cooking each crêpe.
Place the chocolate chips, cream, and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and serve warm.
Fold the crêpes in quarters and arrange three in the center of each plate. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and spoon the chocolate sauce on top.
Food for Thought
Okay, admittedly there is nothing low-cal about this recipe, but all is not lost. Crêpes are only about 95 calories each. So if you skip the chocolate sauce and go for fresh strawberries, you could save a lot of calories and still have a luscious dessert.
