Rolled Crepes Step-By-Step Instructions
Begin by making the Chocolate Coconut Whipped Cream. Use a Kitchen Aid or handheld mixer to whip the solid part of the coconut crème. Once all of the chunks are out of the coconut crème, add the cocoa powder and whip until it’s completely combined. Fold in the honey or maple syrup until you have your desired sweetness. Refrigerate while you make the crepes.
In another bowl, combine the almond flour, eggs, honey or maple syrup, nut milk, cocoa powder & xanthan gum. Stir well.
The Most Difficult Part!
Knowing how to pan fry crepes them to perfection is a culinary skill worth mastering! Here's a step-by-step to the perfect Rolled Crepe!
Heat the Pan! Use a non-stick pan ( I love my All-Clad pans!) and heat it over medium heat. Add a small amount of coconut or olive oil to grease the surface. You can use a paper towel or brush to spread it evenly.
Pour and Swirl! Once the pan is hot, pour a small amount of batter into the center, swirling it quickly to coat the bottom evenly. You want a thin layer of batter. Adjust the amount based on your pan's size and the desired thickness of your crepes.
Cook Gently! Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
Flip and Cook the Other Side! Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula or your fingers. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden.
Time to Roll! Take the whipped cream out of the fridge. Spread an even layer over each crepe and roll like cinnamon rolls!
Chocolate Rolled Crepe Topping Ideas
I decide to top off this Rolled Crepe with more whipped cream and some melted Lily’s chocolate chips! But there are so many fun topping when it comes to crepes! I love to add some banana and nuts to this recipe. They’re also absolutely to die for with some strawberries!
Why I Like To Opt For Refined Sugar Free Treats!
One of my favorite things I’ve done is remove most refined sugars from my diet—it can be a daunting thing but this recipe is a great way to start choosing sweet things that are naturally sweetened!
One of the most straightforward steps in this journey is to swap out refined sugars for natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. These options not only add sweetness but also offer additional nutrients and antioxidants.
Fruits are another great way to start eliminating refined sugars. Use ingredients like dates, bananas, and applesauce, can be fun ways to sweeten recipes naturally. These whole foods provide essential vitamins, fiber, and minerals, making your dishes both healthier and more flavorful.
