Ingredients
Sunflower-seed Creme
- 1 cup raw, unsalted sunflower seed kernels
- 1.5 cups water
Chocolate Ganache
- 1 cup sunflower-seed creme
- 10-12 oz chocolate chips or chunks
Crepes with Chocolate Ganache
- 1 cup chocolate ganache (16 tablespoons)
- 8 crepes
- fruit (to taste)
Instructions
Sunflower-Seed Creme
- Add raw, unsalted sunflower seeds and water to your blender. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. Set to the side.
Chocolate Ganache
- Heat 1 cup of the resulting sunflower-seed cream in a sauce pan until it gets a little frothy. Do NOT bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set to the side.
- Add the chocolate chips or chunks to a medium mixing bowl. Pour the steaming sunflower-seed cream over top of the chocolate and mix until smooth. Set to the side to cool for use in this recipe :)
Crepes
- Prepare the crepes. I make this preparation using the Grain Free Crepes recipe.
- Assemble the crepes using your favorite method. To make them as shown, spread 2 tablespoons of ganache on 1/2 of the inside of each crepe. Place fresh banana slices or fruit of choice on 1/2 of the ganache-covered section (i.e. 1/4 of the crepe). Fold the crepe in half to cover the fruit, and in half again (i.e. into triangle-like shape). Pipe with additional ganache and top with powdered sugar.
Notes
Sunflower-Seed Creme: Use a sieve to remove any grittiness, if needed. If you're using a high-speed blender, just run it a bit longer until the mixture has a perfectly smooth consistency. It always helps to use a spatula to scrape down your blender to puree any outlier pieces.
Chocolate Selection: Chocolate is a tricky product to purchase for those who have serious dietary restrictions. Some of us react to even trace amounts of soy or dairy. When possible choose a brand that processes their product in a facility that does not contain the ingredients you react to. As a side note, I am seeing your feedback come through and have begun linking text in my posts to show which products I use, whenever possible. Thanks!! I love hearing your thoughts!
