Ricotta Cheese Crepes With Tropical Fruit Salsa

Ingredients

·         ½ cup ricotta cheese

·         Ready-made tropical fruit salsa as required

·         3 eggs

·         1 tsp vanilla essence

·         1 cup refined flour (maida)

·         A pinch of salt

·         ¼ tsp baking soda

·         ½ tsp baking powder

·         ½ cup castor sugar

·         1 cup milk

·         Butter as required

·         A few fresh mint leaves + for garnish

·         Maple syrup for drizzling

·         Vanilla ice cream to serve

Method

1.      Break the eggs into a large bowl and beat with an electric beater for 1 minute. Add ricotta cheese and vanilla essence and beat till the mixture turns creamy.

2.      Sift refined flour directly into the bowl. Add salt, baking soda, baking powder and castor sugar and mix till well combined.  

3.      Add milk little by little and whisk till a smooth batter of pouring consistency is formed.

4.      Heat a non-stick tawa. Pour 1-2 ladleful of the batter and spread it evenly to form a thin crepe. Drizzle some butter along the sides and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes.

5.      Transfer onto a worktop, place a portion of the tropical salsa and a few mint leaves in the centre and roll it. Cut each roll into half and arrange on a serving plate. Drizzle maple syrup over them, garnish with mint leaves and serve immediately with vanilla ice cream.
