Sweet Potato and Apple Compote Crepes with Rice Flour

IMAGE

These crepes made with rice flour are moist and very filling. They work particularly well with sweet potato, apple compote, and cheese.

Tips:

  • These crepes are especially soft because rice flour is mixed with soy milk.

  • All rice flour is naturally gluten-free. Make this dish completely gluten-free by using gluten-free substitutes for other ingredients as needed.

Ingredients

1 (180g) sweet potato

¼-⅓ cup (60-90ml) heavy cream

1½ tablespoons (20g) sugar

For the apple compote

1 (200g) apple

2 tablespoons (30ml) white wine

2 teaspoons (9g) sugar

2 teaspoons (10ml) lemon juice

Water as needed

For the crepe batter

3 tablespoons (40g) butter

⅔ cup (100g) rice flour

¾ cup (200ml) soy milk

2 eggs

1 tablespoon (10g) sugar

1 cup (120g) fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

Chopped pecans as needed

Chocolate syrup as needed

Directions

  1. Peel the skin and boil sweet potato. When soft, mash them and mix with heavy cream and sugar. Transfer to a pastry bag. Set aside.

  2. For the apple compote

    Peel the skin and cut the apple into 1/3 inch (1cm) cubes. In a saucepan over medium high heat, combine the apples with wine, sugar, and water. Simmer until the apples are tender and the liquid has thickened. Add lemon juice and set aside.

  3. For the crepes

    Heat the butter on a skillet or griddle over medium low heat. In a bowl, combine rice flour, soy milk, eggs, and sugar. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet. Swirl to spread evenly. Cook until the bottom is light brown. Flip and cook the other side. Repeat.

  4. On each crepe, pipe the sweet potato cream in the center, add the apples, cheese, and pecans. Fold four sides.

  5. Garnish with chocolate syrup and sweet potato cream. Serve.
