Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, immediately swirling it to evenly coat the bottom with a thin layer.

Step 6

Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, heat the dark chocolate chips and heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly, until a smooth, glossy ganache forms. Remove from heat.

Step 8

To assemble, spread 1-2 tablespoons of the chocolate ganache over one half of a crepe. Fold the crepe in half, then in half again to form a triangle.

Step 9

Drizzle additional chocolate ganache over the folded crepes and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Step 10

Top with fresh strawberries and a sprinkling of chopped pistachios for added texture and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
