Ingredients

  • 1 1⁄2 c thrive instant milk, prepared
  • 3 T thrive whole egg powder, reconstituted
  • 2 T vanilla extract
  • 1 1⁄2 c thrive white flour
  • 5 T thrive white sugar, divided
  • 1⁄2 t thrive iodized salt
  • 5 T melted butter
  • 1 1⁄2 c thrive freeze dried strawberries, plus rehydrating liquid (water, juice, etc.)
  • 1 3⁄4 c heavy whipping cream
  • 6 oz white chocolate, chopped

Instructions

*In a large bowl, mix together the milk, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the flour, 2 T sugar, salt, and melted butter until well-blended.
*Heat a sauté or crepe pan over medium heat until hot. Coat with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
*Pour about 1/4 c of batter into the pan and tip to spread the batter to the edges. When bubbles form on the top and the edges are dry, flip over, and cook until lightly-browned on the other side and edges are golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
*To make mousse, reconstitute freeze dried strawberries for 5-7 minutes in enough hot liquid to cover. Strain mixture into a small bowl. Sweeten by adding remaining sugar, then stir until sugar dissolves. Process in a blender or food processor until sauce runs smooth. Makes 1 c of sauce.
*In a heavy saucepan on low heat, warm 1/4 c heavy cream with white chocolate, stirring constantly until chocolate melts. Let mixture cool until it is lukewarm. Stir in 2 T of strawberry sauce, then transfer to a large bowl.
*In a medium bowl, whip remaining cream into soft peaks. Fold into melted chocolate mixture, one-third at a time, until no streaks remain.
*Layer mousse into crepes, and serve with the sauce.

You can also fill crepes with your favorite fruit, cream, caramel, ice cream, or cheese to serve.

LOVE THESE!

I've always thought anything from a can can't taste as good as fresh. Thrive proves that theory wrong! These are super easy to make and taste great!
