Chocolate-Strawberry Crepes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup hulled strawberries, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons strawberry liqueur or kirsch
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 1/2 recipe Dessert Crepes, or 6 store-bought crepes, defrosted if frozen
- 1/2 cup Warm Chocolate Sauce
- Heat a large skillet over moderately high heat.
- Add the butter, swirling the pan until melted.
- Add the strawberries and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Add the sugar and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is foamy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, add the strawberry liqueur and the brandy, and return the skillet to the heat, tilting the pan towards the flame to ignite.
- (Or, off the heat, carefully ignite the pan with a match and return to the heat.)
- Gently shake the pan back and forth, basting the strawberries, until the flame dies.
- Add the crepes to the pan, 1 at a time, using a fork to fold each crepe into quarters.
- After all of the crepes have been added, swirl them in the sauce to heat through and coat.
- To serve, arrange 3 crepes on each plate and spoon strawberry sauce over the top.
- Drizzle each serving with chocolate sauce and serve immediately.
