Chocolate and banana crepes with boozy sauce

Chocolate and banana crepes with boozy sauce

I don’t know about you but some days I really need to have something sweet… even if it’s just a little square of chocolate but I need sugar… The problem is that I don’t usually buy sweets. So if I fancy something sugary I have to come up with something homemade… and that means baking! This time I felt like something sweet but different… and look what I came up with: Chocolate and banana crepes with boozy sauce 🙂

This recipe was a bit of a combination of other recipes that I’ve seen around… I had bananas and I wanted to use them… and my boyfriend likes his desserts to include some sort of alcohol… Bananas + alcohol + something sweet was the start. I thought about crepes suzette with banana instead of orange. But I was not sure the rum I had at home would burn properly. With this idea in mind, I though about doing something similar but with the ingredients I had. So by now I had: crepes + bananas + rum + chocolate as the sweet. First I thought about simple crepes filled with banana, chocolate and a dash of rum. But I wanted something more boozy… And then I thought about a sauce I’ve seen once used to drizzle pana cotta. It was a sugary sauce made with brandy. So let’s make it with rum and used it to drizzle the banana and chocolate crepes. Now this whole thing sounded nice and I couldn’t wait to try it… Believe me: it came out very very nice 🙂
