Ingredients:
For the crêpes:
- 1¼ cup self-rising flour (or flour of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Tony Ferguson Pure Hydrolysed Collagen
- 1-2 tablespoons Tony Ferguson Organic Cacao Powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ cup sugar or syrup of choice
- 1¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup oil
For the filling:
- Fresh fruit, such as berries or peaches
- Coconut or regular whipped cream, slightly sweetened with sugar
- 1-2 teaspoons Tony Ferguson Pure Hydrolysed Collagen (added to whipped cream)
For the toppings:
- 150g dark chocolate, melted
- 1-2 tablespoons cooled cream
- Sliced fruit
Method:
- Prepare the Crêpe Batter: Mix the flour, Tony Ferguson Pure Hydrolysed Collagen, Tony Ferguson Organic Cacao Powder, baking powder, salt, sugar, milk, and oil until smooth. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to achieve the desired consistency.
- Cook the Crêpes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or non-stick spray. Pour about ¼ of the batter into the pan, tilting it to spread the batter evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the crêpes are lightly browned and set. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Assemble the Crêpe Layers: Let the crêpes cool to room temperature. Overlap 4-5 crêpes on a piece of cling wrap, ensuring the ends overlap slightly. Spread a generous layer of the collagen-infused whipped cream over the crêpes, extending thinly towards the edges. Arrange the sliced fruit on top, starting thick at one end and tapering to about three-quarters of the way down.
- Roll and Chill: Fold in the sides of the crêpes and roll them up tightly. Wrap the roll in cling wrap and refrigerate until firm.
- Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: Melt the dark chocolate and gradually fold in the cream until smooth and glossy. Once the crêpe roll has set, pour the ganache over the roll and arrange additional sliced fruit on top for decoration.
- Final Chill: Chill the crêpe roll again until the ganache is set. Once ready, slice the roll into pieces and serve chilled.
