Blueberry conserve and ice cream crêpes recipe
A truly decadent pancake dessert combining lacy crêpes, fruity conserve, ice cream and cookie sprinkles.
Note the crêpe recipe makes more than four pancakes, which is how many the topping ingredients will serve, so either crush more cookies and use more conserve, or freeze some for another day.
Ingredients
For the crêpes- 125 g plain (all-purpose) flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tbsp caster (superfine) sugar
- 2 free-range eggs, beaten
- 25 g melted butter, plus extra for cooking
- 250 ml semi-skimmed milk
- 3 tbsp cold water
- 2 chocolate chip cookies
- 4 large crêpes
- 8 tbsp blueberry conserve (we like Bonne Maman Wild Blueberry Conserve)
- 500 ml carton good-quality vanilla ice cream
- 1 handful fresh mint sprigs
- 1 amount of icing sugar (confectioners' sugar) to dust

Step-by-step
- To make the crêpes, add flour, salt, sugar into mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the eggs.
- Stir with balloon whisk and slowly beat in melted butter, milk and water. Whisk briskly to a thin batter.
- Gently heat pan and wipe a little melted butter over base.
- Drop a small ladleful of batter into pan, swirl to coat base evenly in a thin layer.
- Cook for 2 minutes until the underside is golden, flip and cook other side for a minute or so.
- Stack crêpes on warm plate separated with baking paper.
- For the topping, put the biscuits in a small food bag and crush with a rolling pin into fine crumbs.
- Spread each crêpe with a generous amount of wild blueberry conserve.
- Top with three small scoops of vanilla ice cream. Sprinkle with the chocolate biscuit crumbs and a few sprigs of fresh mint.
- Roll up the crêpes, dust lightly with icing sugar and eat straight away or freeze for up to 1 week. If freezing, thaw at room temperature for 10 minutes before eating.
