Diabetic Dessert : Spiced fruit crepes

For the Crêpe Batter:

  • 2 eggs

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

  • 1/4 cup muesli

  • Zest of one orange finely diced

Mix all together and then blend until smooth, keep in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before using.

For the Sauce:

  • Juice of 2 oranges

  • 1 cinnamon stick

  • 1 whole start anise

  • 1 vanilla pod spilt

  • 2 apples peeled and diced

For the filling:

  • 2 Peaches

  • 1/2 cup blueberries

These Crepes are very easy to make, I make them over two days making the crepe batter and sauce one day and then put the final dish together when I'm ready. With crepes the trick is to use a non stick pan on a medium heat, tilt the pan on an angle when you add the batter and then swirl the pan around to spread, the first crepe is always for the chef :) either the pan will be to hot or cool so adjust for the next one.

Put the orange juice apples cinnamon stick, vanilla pod, start anise in a small pot and bring to the boil, let it simmer for 15 minutes until the apple is very soft then remove from heat. Remove all the " pod bits " and just leave the juice and the apple and puree. Put the pod bits back in and put in the fridge for at least 4 hours so the flavor intensifies.

Slice the peaches and place on a tray under the grill, you can shave some palm sugar over this or drizzle with honey, depending on your sugar levels on the day, however it is just as nice with nothing as the natural sugars in the fruit will intensify with heating. Remove the bits from the apple puree by straining and heat then gently toss thru the peaches and blue berry, spoon this mixture into your crepes and fold.

Diabetic Desserts are healthy for all you still need to be aware of your sugar levels and your fruit intake for the day!
