Ingredients
Crepes Batter
4 large eggs
⅕ cup sugar
1.75 oz butter (about half a stick)
2 cups All Purpose flour
Butter or oil as needed (to lightly coat pan)
Small pinch of salt
1 ¾ cup milk
Vanilla Custard
¼ cup sugar
3 large egg yolks
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
Strawberry Sauce
1 cup Dole Chef-Ready Cuts Diced or Sliced Strawberries, thawed
2 tbsp lemon juice
⅛ cup sugar
Toppings
Dole IQF Blackberries, thawed
Dole IQF Raspberries, thawed
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until incorporated (15-30 seconds).
Crepes
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until incorporated (15-30 seconds).
- Add melted butter and whisk again for about 15-20 seconds.
- Add flour, salt and about ⅓ of the milk. Whisk until combined and lumps have disappeared. Add remaining milk while mixing.
- Place a skillet or crepe pan on medium heat for about 1–2 minutes. You want it hot but not smoking.
- Add a small dab of butter or a few drops of oil. Swirl it around or wipe with a paper towel to coat the surface lightly.
- Add ¼ cup of batter to skillet using a ladle. Immediately tilt and rotate the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
- Let the crepe cook for about 1–2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Use a spatula to gently lift and flip the crepe. Cook for another 30–60 seconds until golden. Transfer to a plate and repeat the process, adding a bit more butter/oil each time if needed.
Vanilla Custard
- Beat egg yolks thoroughly. Then add sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
- In a sauce pan, heat heavy cream over medium low heat until luke warm. Temper the egg mixture by slowly adding small amounts to the cream and whisking continuously to prevent scrambling.
- Once cream and egg micture have been fully combined, return to saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring consistently for 20 minutes, until custard coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and immediately strain into a clean bottle or container.
Strawberry Sauce
- Combine strawberries, lemon juice and sugar in a blender. Blend until smooth. Adjust sweetness as needed.
Plating
- Transfer crepe to a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar.
- Add a generous dollop of custard to center of crepe. Garnish with blackberries and drizzle with strawberry sauce.
