Chocolate Crepes with Raspberry Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup fat-free milk
• 1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
• 2 egg whites
• 1 egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup sugar, divided
• 1/4 cup baking cocoa
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 cup water
• 4-1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries, thawed, divided
• Reduced-fat whipped cream in a can
• 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar

Directions

• In a small bowl, combine the milk, evaporated milk, egg whites and egg. Combine the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, cocoa and salt; add to milk mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and remaining sugar; set aside. Place water and 3-1/2 cups raspberries in a blender; cover and process for 2-3 minutes or until pureed.
• Strain puree into cornstarch mixture and discard seeds. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Transfer to a small bowl; refrigerate until chilled.
• Coat an 8-in. nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Stir crepe batter; pour a scant 3 tablespoons into center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack.
• Repeat with remaining batter, coating skillet with cooking spray as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between.
• To serve, spoon a scant 3 tablespoons sauce over each crepe; roll up. Top each with 1 tablespoon whipped cream. Garnish with remaining raspberries and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 8 servings.
