Preparation

Step 1

Crepes:

Blend all ingredients together in a blender on medium until smooth, then briefly on high. Let the batter rest in the refrigerator while preparing the chocolate sauce.

Remove batter from the refrigerator and stir gently to ensure it is properly mixed. Heat a 10-inch frying pan over medium heat. Using a pastry brush, sweep the bottom and sides of pan with butter to coat. Then add 1/4 cup batter with ladle, swirling with ladle to coat pan evenly. Cook over medium heat until edges are firm and crepe can be turned easily. Turn and cook briefly on other side, then turn onto plate, drier/browner side of crepe down (1st side cooked). Repeat.

Chocolate sauce:

Melt chocolate, sugar, milk, and butter over low heat or in a double boiler until smooth. Add vanilla, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, still stirring to retain smoothness.

To assemble crepes, take a crepe, "good side" down, and fill center portion with chocolate sauce. Roll the crepe. Add 1/4 cup cream, whipped with a a bit of almond extract, and top crepe with whipped cream. May also add raspberries and a bit of orange zest and sugar. Finish with dusting of confectioner's sugar.
