When I was younger I often ordered crepes with walnut filling for dessert. It was a staple dessert in Slovenian restaurants. It’s been quite a while since I had them but their taste is quite vivid in my memory. In this recipe I created a plant based version of this otherwise non-vegan dish which tastes just the same if not even better.
The first step is a recipe for basic vegan crepes. My vegan crepes are so delicious I could eat them on their own without any filling. The second step is the filling which is made of ground walnuts and cinnamon with warm coconut cream poured over the walnuts. The filling is sweetened with maple syrup and a little bit of rum is added for the final touch. For the decoration of these crepes I use a sprinkle of powdered sugar, just a little bit of whipped plant based cream beside the crepe and I drizzle a little bit of my vegan hot fudge sauce over them. The final result is irresistible.
