INSTRUCTIONS
A delicious hot chocolate and pear filling in pretty marble effect crepes
Make the crepe mixture as before, adding the sugar with the flour. Sieve
the cocoa into a bowl and gradually whisk in half the batter. Pour the two
batters into two separate jugs, cover and rest 30 minutes.
Place the pears, dates and orange juice in a saucepan and bring them to the
boil. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until the pears are tender.
Meanwhile, place he chocolate and ream in a bowl over a pan of simmering
water until melted and smooth.
Blend the arrowroot into a smooth paste with 1 tbsp of water and stir into
the pears to thicken the mixture slightly.
Cook the crepes as before, drizzling a little of each batter into the pan
to create a marbled effect. Fill the crepes with the pear mixture and serve
together with the chocolate sauce and creme fraiche.
