    CHOCOLATE CREPES WITH FRESH STRAWBERRIES
    Ingredients:

    For the crepes:
    1 1/2 cups flour
    1/2 cup cocoa powder
    6 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
    Pinch salt
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    2 cups milk
    2 large eggs
    1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    Vegetable oil, as needed for cooking
    16 (6-inch) squares parchment or waxed paper
    For the filling:

    1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
    1/2 cup pureed fresh strawberries
    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    For the sauce:

    1/2 stick butter
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    1 pound fresh strawberries, washed, stemmed and quartered
    1/4 cup strawberry liqueur
    1 cup chocolate sauce, store bought or home made
    Instructions:

    For the crepes:
    Combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl.
    In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the butter, milk, eggs and vanilla and whisk until blended.
    Add the liquid mixture a little at a time to the dry mixture, whisking to dissolve any lumps. Whisk until smooth.
    Refrigerate for 1 hour.
    Lightly brush a 6-inch skillet with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat.
    When the pan is hot, remove from the heat and pour in 1/4 cup of the batter. Swirl the pan around to spread the batter evenly over the bottom. Return the pan to the heat and cook until lightly golden, 30 to 40 seconds. Turn the crepe over and cook the second side for about 15 seconds. Remove from the pan.
    Repeat the process until all of the batter is used, stacking the crepes between the squares of parchment or waxed paper to prevent them from sticking together.
    Set the crepes aside.
    For the filling:

    In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
    Add the sour cream, sugar, strawberries and vanilla. Beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
    Put 3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the lower third of each crepe. Fold the bottom of the crepe over the filling and roll up gently but firmly.
    Place the filled crepes on a large platter or baking sheet, cover lightly and refrigerate for 1 hour.
    In a large sauté pan, over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
    Add the sugar and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
    Add the strawberries and continue to cook for 1 minute.
    Add the liqueur and simmer for 2 minutes.
    Add the chocolate sauce and continue to cook for 1 minute.
    Add 8 of the filled crepes to the pan and cook for 1 minute, basting with the sauce.
    Remove the crepes from the pan, set aside and keep warm.
    Add the remaining crepes and cook for 1 minute, basting with the sauce.
    To serve, crisscross 2 crepes on each dessert plate and drizzle with the sauce.

    Yield: 8 servings

    Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss,
    But I only slept with you, cause I was pissed.

    Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
    But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl’s empty
    and so is your head.

    I thought that I could love no other,
    Until, that is, I met your brother.

    Kind, intelligent, loving and hot,
    This describes everything you are not.

    I want to feel, your sweet embrace,
    But don’t take that paper bag, off of your face.

    I love your smile, your face, and your eyes-
    Damn, I’m good at telling lies!

    My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife,
    Marrying you, screwed up my life.

    I see your face, when I am dreaming,
    That’s why I always wake up screaming.

    My love, you take my breath away,
    What have you stepped in, to smell this way.

    My feelings for you, no words can tell,
    Except for maybe “go to hell”.

    What inspired this amorous rhyme?
    Two parts vodka, one part lime.
    or are u after lovey dovey mushy ones mary??? :lol:
