Nutella Crepes and Ice Cream

I love crepes, and I love ice cream; and together they make the perfect dessert. A crepe station is always a nice fancy idea, each dessert can be custom made, you can use Nutella, Jam, or honey filling and any flavour of ice cream you prefer. This dessert can also be made in advance, all you need to do once it is done, is warp in foil paper, and put it in the fridge. Pop the crepes in a microwave for 30 seconds when you are ready to serve them. On this fifth day of christmas i present to you Nutella Crepes and ice cream.

Serves: 6

Ingredients

1 cup of flour

1/4 cup of sugar

1 tea spoon of vanilla extract

2 eggs

1 1/4 cup of butter milk (you can use any kind of milk available )

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

1 tablespoon of melted butter or oil

Oil or butter (for frying)

Strawberries/ bananas

Nutella (Jam or honey can be used)

Ice cream

Recipe

• In a dry clean bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cinnamon)
• In another bowl, break the eggs and whisk properly, add the milk, butter (or oil), vanilla extract and whisk properly.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk, ensuring that there are no lumps (Tip: you can use a blender in order to prevent lumps , and if normal whisk is used and you notice lumps you can sieve out the lumps)
• Grease (with oil or butter) a crepe pan or a big frying pan
• Set to medium to low heat
• Pour batter in the middle of pan and move pan around to ensure that the batter covers the entire pan ( the idea is to make the crepe as thin as possible so avoid pouring a lot of batter into the pan at once)
• Fry each side of the crepe for 3-4 minutes

Tip: When you want to oil the pan for the next batch make sure you lift the pan from the cooker, so that the oil wont get too hot immediately and burn the crepes.

Filling

• Scoop Nutella into a bowl and microwave for 45 secs to soften it up, so that it doesn’t rip the crepes
• Slice bananas or strawberry
• Spread Nutella on one half of the crepe, put the strawberries/bananas and fold over

Then Serve
