Ingredients:
- 12 Chocolate Dessert Crepes
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup almonds, sliced
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Almond Crunch Topping:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced almonds with sugar and melted butter until evenly coated.
- Spread the almond mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the almonds are lightly browned. Allow them to cool completely.
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt together the miniature marshmallows and chocolate, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Refrigerate the chocolate mixture for about 35 minutes, or until it reaches a slightly mounded consistency when dropped from a spoon.
-
Whip the Cream:
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the chilled chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; gently fold to preserve the airy texture.
-
Assemble the Crepes:
- Lay out the chocolate dessert crepes on a clean surface.
- Spoon a generous portion of the chocolate filling onto each crepe, spreading it evenly over the surface.
- Sprinkle the cooled almond crunch topping over the chocolate filling.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Roll up each crepe and place them on serving plates.
- Optionally, garnish with additional almond crunch topping or a dusting of cocoa powder.
- Serve the Chocolate Almond Crunch Crepes immediately and savor every decadent bite!
Tips:
- For a variation, try adding a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a dollop of whipped cream on top of each crepe before serving.
- You can prepare the almond crunch topping and chocolate filling in advance, storing them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
- Experiment with different types of nuts or add-ins for the almond crunch topping, such as hazelnuts or shredded coconut, for added flavor and texture.
