These Chocolate Berry Crepes are the perfect treat and everyone at the table will feel special eating them! I leave the crepe making to my husband, it’s always a special treat on the weekends to wake up to the smell of these amazing crepes!

For the berry compote:

- Add the sugar, lime juice, and cinnamon.
- Cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
Crepe
- Beat the eggs, butter, sugar, and milk in a bowl.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the mixture and beat until a batter is formed. Pour the batter into a pitcher.
- Heat a shallow skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of butter.
- Cook till the middle is set and flip the crepe to cook the other side.

Seemingly rich and decadent, these crepes can be made a day or two in advance and filled before serving. Simply
store them in a sealed container with sheets of waxed paper between each crepe until you’re ready to serve them.
These would be perfect for a beautiful weekend brunch!
