Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Total time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

For the crepes:

250 g Plain flour

20 g Caster sugar

20 g Cocoa powder

4 Eggs

500 ml Milk of choice

100 ml Water

2 tbsp Olive oil (plus extra for cooking )

For the jam:

4 Nectarines

1 tbsp Chia seeds

1 tsp Vanilla paste

For the whipped cream:

130 ml Double cream (or oat whipping cream)

1 tbsp Caster sugar

Recipe:

  1. Combine the flour, caster sugar and cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make a well in the center, and add the eggs, milk, water and olive oil.
  3. Whisk until well-combined and smooth. 
  4. Roughly chop the nectarines, then put them in a small saucepan, along with the chia seeds and vanilla.
  5. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, until the fruits are soft. Blitz in a food processor until smooth.
  6. Lightly grease a large frying pan, and place over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, pour in some of the batter and cook for 1 minute on each side. Repeat until all the batter is used - you should have enough to make 10-12 crêpes.
  7. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cream until stiff peaks form. Add the sugar and whisk again until combined.
  8. Spread the whipped cream and nectarine jam into the chocolate crepes.
  9. Fold into triangles, or rolls – whichever you'd prefer.
