Almond and Cottage Cheese Filled Crepes with Blueberry and Orange Sauce

Posted 2017-03-01 by finy ⇒ follow

This is a very filling brunch and the mixture of almond, blueberry and orange is a very nice one, as it has tart with sweet plus the crunch of almonds.

This is #20 in my series of brunch recipes, and you can make a large part of this recipe the day before.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 3

Ingredients
For the crepes
2 eggs
½ cup flour
½ cup milk
½ tbsp coconut sugar
Bit of almond essence

For the filling
225 g cottage cheese
1 egg yolk
1½ tbsp coconut sugar
½ tbsp orange zest
¼ cup almonds, slivered or blanched

For the blueberry topping
1½ tbsp corn flour
Just under half a cup orange juice
1 cup blueberries
Almonds, to garnish

Method
For the crepes

Mix all the ingredients until smooth.

Spray a small pan with oil and heat until a medium heat is achieved.

Cut some sheets of baking paper about the size of each pancake.

Add about 3 tbsp of the batter to the pan, tilting it to make it quite thin.

Cook the crepe till the bottom begins to brown - about a minute.

I have flipped the crepe for the photo do not worry if they are not even

Put them on baking paper with the cooked side up.

Repeat with the remaining batter, layering the crepes with the baking paper.

For the filling

Mix the cottage cheese, eggs yolks, sugar and orange zest, until well mixed.

Add the almonds and mix.

For the blueberry topping

Combine the sugar and the corn flour in a saucepan.

Add the orange juice and blueberries.

Cook this till it boils, stirring all the time until it has thickened - this should only be about a minute.

To serve

Put a few tbsp of filling onto each crepe.

Roll them and put them on a tray on baking paper.

At this stage, you can put them in the fridge till you need them.

Preheat the oven to about 150°/130° fan forced.

Bake the filled crepes until they are hot - if taken from the fridge, this will take about 10 - 15 minutes, or only about 5 if they are still warm from cooking.

Put on serving plates, and cover with the blueberry topping,

Add the extra almonds for garnish, and serve.

You could also add some sour cream though I did not as didn't want more calories.
