Epcot's Chocolate Crepes

Epcot Crepe with Mia style sauce
Welcome back to our 365 Disney Dining Challenge! As you can all probably tell, by now, I am in love with most anything French, and am always looking for extra excuses to cook the cuisine (or speak the language). So, I decided the perfect way to end this challenge week was by making chocolate crepes, like the ones at the kiosk in Epcot's France. Since crepes on their own are not as yummy as those with a filling, I decided to create my own (if you are just wanting the Disney recipe, stick with the top list of ingredients).


Ingredients:
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
6 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Sauce (my own recipe, not found at Disney):
8 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup of brown sugar (can  use 1/8 to make less sweet)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons peanut butter
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon of butter
Bananas

Begin by putting all of the ingredients together in a mixing bowl, and then mix until well blended.The batter will slightly resemble pancake mix, only more on the runny side - for best results, let this mixture rest for about 20 minutes in the refrigerator prior to baking. Then, pour some into a pan and cook on low heat. Watch the crepe, and when you can see the edges starting to turn darker and pull up from the pan, gently flip over and cook for another minute on the other side. Repeat until all crepes are complete.

Combine all ingredients
Should look like pancake mix, but thinner
For the sauce, combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and stir over low heat until melted.Remove from heat, and let thicken slightly (I usually prepare my sauce at the same time the crepes are cooking - everything is usually completed at the same time).
Combine all ingredients for sauce
Completely melted down
Once the crepes are finished, slice some bananas and places those slices over the crepes, then ladle on some chocolate sauce and you now have a wonderfully filling desert!

Finit!
