This recipe combines the lightness of homemade crepes with the creamy richness of an easy-to-make mousse. The crepes are cooked to perfection, then filled with a smooth mousse made from instant pudding mix and whipped topping.
1small pkg instant puddingany flavor you like, I used cheesecake and chocolate
1 ½cupscold milk
1cupCool Whip
Instructions
Beat eggs until light. Add milk and flour and mix until smooth.
Heat small (about 8 inch) Teflon skillet or crepe pan. Heat skillet on medium and add a dab of shortening to the pan. Pour in a scant 1/4 cup batter. Lift the pan and tilt it back and forth until batter spreads evenly in a circle. When batter looks dull and dry, with a quick flip of the wrist, flip crepe over with a spatula and cook about 30 seconds or until light brown in areas. (I use a silicone spatula to do this).
Roll or fold crepes and serve with fresh fruit and mousse. You can also fill with syrup, jelly, or pie filling. Of course once filled, I like to add a dollop of sweetened whipped cream! Makes 12-14 crepes.
For the mousse - Mix pudding as directed on package using 1 1/2 cups milk. Fold in whipped topping. Makes 2 2/3 cups.
