Fig and Cinnamon Chocolate-Filled Crepes

This is one of our favorite crepe recipes. It doubles as breakfast or dessert! And it uses my in-law's famous fig preserves. Serve drizzled with chocolate syrup. You can also double the layer of crepes - my husband loves it that way!

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup evaporated milk
• ¾ cup evaporated milk
• ¼ cup water, or as needed

• 1 cup pancake mix
• 2 teaspoons fig jam

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat 1/4 cup evaporated milk in a small saucepan until simmering, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips; let stand until chocolate melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in butter, fig jam, and cinnamon until filling is thick and smooth.

Step 2

Whisk pancake mix, 3/4 cup evaporated milk, and egg together in a bowl until no lumps remain. Add water gradually until batter reaches a thin consistency. Stir in vanilla extract.

Step 3

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray. Spoon batter into a thin layer at the bottom of the skillet. Cook until set, about 2 minutes. Lift up the sides with a spatula and flip; cook until second side is set, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining batter.

Step 4

Spoon filling into the center of the crepes; fold or roll crepes to enclose filling.
