I have never been the greatest crepe maker, but this recipe turns my plain old crepes into something really special! What a perfect dessert for guests or just the family. I halved the recipe and it made exactly 6 crepes with the perfect amount of sauce. I would be even more decadent with some fresh whipped cream. Oh! Yum! I'm so glad these came my way.

I made this for dessert (for just hubby & I , so I halved the recipe). The only thing I changed was that I did not have a fresh orange (for the zest), so I used the tiniest drop of orange extract that I could, without screwing it all up. It turned out great!!! Yummy. I made this with 2 other Caribbean dishes tonight (all turned out well). I will post a photo when I get my hands on hubby's cellphone camera... (I believe I got it while it was still on fire)! Thank you for a great dessert to the perfect meal. (Made for ZWT9 - Caribbean)
