Hot Whiskey Crepes With Raspberries Recipes

DESSERT CREPES WITH RASPBERRY SORBET

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 water and 3 tablespoons sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until mixture is simmering and sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow syrup to cool to room temperature.
• Place raspberries in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until pureed. Pour cooled syrup into raspberry puree and mix well. Strain through a fine-meshed sieve into a container. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 1/2 hours. Break up with a fork and place back in the freezer.
• Combine eggs, milk, 1/2 cup water, and 3 tablespoons melted butter in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add flour and salt and mix until batter is smooth.
• Grease a 9-inch nonstick skillet with 1 teaspoon butter over medium heat. Pour a small ladleful of batter into the skillet. Immediately rotate the skillet until batter coats the cooking surface in a thin layer. Cook until the top of the crepe is no longer wet and the bottom has turned light brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to loosen crepe; flip crepe and cook until the other side has turned light brown, about 1 minute more. Slide ready crepe onto a warmed plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Arrange crepes on plates and dust with confectioners' sugar. Place a scoop of raspberry sorbet on the side and garnish with apple slices, fresh mint leaves, and red currants.

HOT FUDGE CREPES

Steps:

• Make a batch of Nif's Chocolate Crepe Batter #354547 and keep warm.
• Melt butter in the saucepan and add sugar, instant coffee and cocoa. Blend thoroughly.
• Gradually add the cream and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about five minutes.
• Remove from the heat and add the vanilla. Set aside.
• Put small scoops of chocolate ice cream on each crepe and fold over.
• Drizzle the hot fudge sauce over the crepes and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Serve immediately.

HOT WHISKEY CREPES WITH RASPBERRIES

Steps:

• Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the center and crack the egg into the well. Gradually beat in the milk to form a smooth batter.
• Heat a medium-size nonstick skillet. Add a little oil and wipe out with a paper towel. Pour enough batter into the pan to coat the bottom, then cook for about 1 minute. Flip the crepe, and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and make three more crepes. Set aside.
• Pour the orange juice into the skillet and add the honey and butter. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes to concentrate the flavors and thicken the sauce slightly. Stir in the whiskey. Fold each crepe in half, then in half again to make a triangle; slide each into the simmering sauce. Heat for 30 seconds.
• Transfer the crepes and sauce to serving plates and sprinkle with raspberries. Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar and top with plain yogurt or cream.
