Ingredients
Jam
1 12-oz bag frozen raspberries, thawed ½ tsp white wine vinegar Pinch sea salt
1½ tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp raw honey, optional
Crepes & cream
4 large eggs, room temperature
½ cup plain unsweetened almond milk
3 tbsp coconut flour (TRY: Now Foods Coconut Flour)
3 tbsp arrowroot
2 tbsp coconut oil + additional for brushing pan
⅛ tsp sea salt
1 vanilla bean (or ½ tsp pure vanilla extract)
1 cup heavy coconut cream (or heavy whipping cream)
1 tsp raw honey, optional
Preparation
1. Prepare jam: In a medium saucepan on medium-low, add raspberries, vinegar and salt. Cook, stirring and mashing occasionally, until berries have broken down and mixture is juicy, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, stir in seeds, and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl and let cool. Stir in honey (if using). Cover and refrigerate until use. (Tip: Make jam up to 3 days ahead and refrigerate. Warm before serving, if desired.)
2. Prepare crepes: To a blender, add eggs, milk, flour, arrowroot, oil and salt; blend until smooth. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
3. In a small nonstick skillet on medium-low, brush oil over surface. Pour about 3 tbsp batter into pan and quickly swirl to spread batter. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, until firm on bottom and just turning light golden; carefully flip and cook for 1 minute longer. Transfer to a plate; cover with a towel. Repeat with remaining batter, making about 10 crepes total. (Tip: Crepes can be made ahead and kept covered in the fridge up to 1 day.)
4. Chill a medium bowl. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean and add to bowl, discarding pod (or add vanilla extract). Add coconut cream and honey (if using). With a hand- held electric mixer on medium-high, beat cream until smooth and soft peaks form. Serve crepes topped with whipped cream and jam.
