Red Velvet Crepes with Blackberry Coulis and Vanilla Cheese Cake Filling

(See Video Recipe Below)

2 eggs

1 egg yolk

1 cup of milk

½ cup of water

Pinch of salt

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon of sugar

1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

1 cup of all-purpose flour

1½ tablespoons of cocoa powder

Red food color

Extra butter

Blackberry Coulis

½ cup of blackberries

¼ sugar

¼ water

1 teaspoon of cornstarch

Vanilla Cheese Cake Filling

8 ounces of Marscapone cheese

1 + 1 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the eggs and egg yolk, milk, water, salt, and sugar, vanilla, food coloring, melted butter in a whisk until foamy.
2. Add flour, cocoa powder, and whisk until smooth. Let the batter sit for about an hour.
3. Next, in a small mixing bowl, add the blackberries, sugar, water, and cornstarch and gently crush blackberries with a fork. Transfer to a saucepan and bring to a boil. When it comes to a boil, lower the heat and bring it to a simmer and reduce it until it is a syrupy consistency, about 15 minutes.
4. In the meantime, prepare the vanilla cheesecake filling by adding filling ingredients into a large mixing bowl, first mixing by hand, then finishing with a hand mixer until it’s smooth.
5. When the batter is ready, heat up enough butter to coat a small non-stick pan over low-medium heat. When butter has melted, add 2 tablespoons of batter into pan and swirl around to spread the batter.
6. Cook this until the top of the batter is no longer shiny, about 1 minute. Flip and cook the other side for about 10-15 seconds. Remove and repeat with the rest of the batter.
7. Assemble the red velvet crepes. Serve and enjoy!
