RecipeInstructions
Making the dough for the crepes:
- In a large mixing bowl, add all the dough ingredients except the hot water. Mix everything using a spatula. Then slowly add the hot water ½ a cup at a time and mixing slowly until all of the mix is wet. (You don't need to use all of the hot water). Now use your hands to form a really smooth dough. Add the extra olive oil to further make the dough smooth and non sticky. Keep dough covered aside.
- Now make the stuffing by heating the shredded coconut in a pan for 2 mins and then adding the maple syrup and salt. Turn heat off and keep aside.
For the chocolate sauce:
- In a small pot, add all the sauce ingredients and heat on low heat until everything is well blended and becomes the consistency of sauce.
- Now for making the crepes, place a heating pan on the stove to heat. Divide the dough into 8 portions and make balls of those. Take each ball and place between two parchment sheets to roll into a round shape about 4-5 inches in dia. rolling it as thin as possible.
- Place the crepe onto the hot pan and cook on both sides, about 2-3 mins on each side on low to med heat. Transfer to a plate.
- Assemble the crepes together by placing about 1 tbsp of the coconut mixture in the center and then rolling them. Pour chocolate sauce on top!
Notes
I like to keep things less sweet. However if you like your stuffing to be really sweet, add more maple syrup than what is suggested above
