Coffee Ice Cream Crepes with Homemade Chocolate Fudge Sauce.

Published by Jessica under Sweet Eats

 

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a tastebud-tantilizing dessert – the ice cream crepe. I fill it with vanilla ice cream and topped it with pureed fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

Then I proceeded to make 14 of them and polish them off by the end of the weekend.

 

 

Can you blame me?

 

So I didn’t stuff all 14 crepes with vanilla ice cream that weekend.

I stuffed some with coffee ice cream!

 

Starbucks Java Chip ice cream, to be exact.

 

Oh, and I topped them with some thick, gooey, homemade chocolate fudge sauce.

Because I do everything in life excessively.

 

 

Coffee Ice Cream Crepes

6-8 crepes

1 pint coffee ice cream

Let ice cream sit out and soften for 10-15 minutes. Scoop out 1/8-1/4 of a cup and place in the middle of the crepe. Repeat with others. Freeze for 1 hour. Top with chocolate sauce.

Recipe for Homemade Chocolate Fudge Sauce.

 

 

You don’t even want to know how good this was. So, so, so good, that I think you should drop what you are doing and go make them right this instant.

I will be over soon for dessert.

    Holy moly… If I lived near you I’m sure I wouldn’t have any trouble getting enough calories in..I’d eat you out of house and home! LOL

  14. # Gabrielaon 29 Jan 2010 at 10:20 am

    Oh wow. I’ve never met a crepe I didn’t like, and both your creations look absolutely mouthwatering.

    I’ve started to notice that I start every comment with “oh wow”…you have a gift girl!

  15. # Lowon 29 Jan 2010 at 10:24 am

    Ooo I just became a fan! Because I totally am one. The crepes made me tear up a bit. Because I can’t drive to the store right now to obtain the means to make them. Tear.

  16. # Shelleyon 29 Jan 2010 at 10:53 am

    you never fail to make posts with things that make me hungry haha..looks deliciouss! i love crepes

  17. # Melindaon 29 Jan 2010 at 11:07 am

    Yum. And crepes are on my to do list coming up soon.

  18. # One Healthy Appleon 29 Jan 2010 at 11:08 am

    Come over! I’ll make the crepes- I have a crepe maker and my mama’s Russian crepe recipe.

    By the way, I have to thank you for introducing me to the good crab meat. My husband thought it was magical as he was eating it with his hands from the can!

  19. # Whitney @ Lettuce Loveon 29 Jan 2010 at 11:14 am

    Looks amazing! I love crepes :)

  20. # MelissaNibbleson 29 Jan 2010 at 11:15 am

    This is funny because I just watched a show on the history of crepes the other night! I’m all about the history behind food (and fashion houses), it’s very interesting.
    Can’t wait for your recipe.

  21. # The Candid RDon 29 Jan 2010 at 11:46 am

    Yum. I have never tried the Starbucks ice cream because I’m always afraid it will keep me up! But, I am going to try to make my own one of these days, using decaf coffee. I just LOVE coffee ice cream, it’s two of my favorite things combined into one, who can’t love that?!

    I’m hoping for a dessert similar to this for my b-day tomorrow. We’ll see what Nick ends up getting me, or what the restaurant has to offer!

  22. # Ericaon 29 Jan 2010 at 12:04 pm

    OMG- my FIL would LOVE this- he is a huge coffee and chocolate fan! Ah! You make the tastiest looking desserts

  23. # Nicole, RDon 29 Jan 2010 at 12:05 pm

    Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepes!!!!!! Nom nom nom!!!

  24. # eatingRDon 29 Jan 2010 at 12:12 pm

    oh my gosh, I’m drooling over here!!!!! haven’t had a crepe in ages since I worked at a frozen custard shop. oh man, they used to put frozen custard atop of crepes and it was heaven. Looks wonderful!!!!

  25. # Gracie @ Girl Meets Healthon 29 Jan 2010 at 12:15 pm

    How is it that you eat sweets and goodies all the time, yet still have such a bangin’ bod?! I’d love to see a post about your daily eats one of these days :)

  26. # Jessicaon 29 Jan 2010 at 12:21 pm

    Bahahah my body isn’t all that bangin’! But we never eat ALL of this stuff at once, unless we go crazy on the weekends – which happens sometimes. :) And for most recipes, I 1/2 or 1/4 the recipe so it doesn’t make alot!

    I think there are some daily eats posts somewhere in the Fit Bites section.

  27. # Jessicaon 29 Jan 2010 at 12:24 pm

    Oops also meant to add – these crepes were made for New Years Eve – so it has been a good 4 weeks since we ate these. :)

  28. # Gracie @ Girl Meets Healthon 29 Jan 2010 at 12:43 pm

    ohhhh gotya ;) Thanks for the quick response!

  29. # Sonja @ ActiveFoodieon 29 Jan 2010 at 1:24 pm

    OH MY WORD!!! This may be one of my favorite things EVER! When I was growing up my mom and grandma would makes crepes almost every Sunday. They are my favorite! Would usually eat them with jam and ground nuts, but then I discovered stuffing them with ice cream….heaven!!!!!!!!

  30. # Abby (Abby's VeGaN Eats)on 29 Jan 2010 at 2:08 pm

    Do you make your own crepes?? I have some really great dairy free recipes.. you reminded me! What a good Sunday breakfast idea.. you rock!

    Happy Friday :)

  32. # Katharineon 29 Jan 2010 at 3:23 pm

  33. # Kloéon 29 Jan 2010 at 3:45 pm

    Oh my… That looks well plane sinful! I LOVE crêpes… and they are so much better than pancakes, aren’t they?

    I don’t know if I ever posted before about how great your husband’s guest post was, but if not, I wanted to tell you now!! The pictures especially were really nice. I’ve been BEGGING my bf to do a guest post so maybe I just need my brother to do one first and then he’ll do it.

    I’m thinking I need to get on your workout plan so I can eat AMAZING delicious things like these crepes.

  35. # Heather @ Side of Sneakerson 29 Jan 2010 at 4:01 pm

    Oh good LORD, you’ve outdone yourself this time. I want to make this for dinner tonight and every single meal for ever and ever.

  40. # Nicole @ Making Good Choiceson 29 Jan 2010 at 6:46 pm

    this looks so good! I can’t take one more dessert i feel like a bottomless pit of dessert this week! haha I think I can fit this in somehow though…

  41. # homecookedemon 29 Jan 2010 at 7:17 pm

    I want one right now!! Another gorgeous recipe!! By the way, your recipes have been popping up everywhere in the blogworld!! I always get so excited and think, ” I know her, I know her!!” I guess everyone else does too, haha! ;)

  42. # Jessica @ The Process of Healingon 29 Jan 2010 at 7:42 pm

    Oh yum does that look GOOD!! I’ve actually never had crepes (gasp!) but I know i’d love them as I love anything involving bready/carby things. But i’m so bad at making pancakes, I have a feeling my crepe making skills are most likely lacking too. Maybe I should find someone to make them FOR me.. now there’s an idea!

  43. # sophiaon 29 Jan 2010 at 8:39 pm

    Um, yeah. So DAMN good. That looks disgustingly good. OMG.

  44. # janetha bon 30 Jan 2010 at 12:12 am

    oh my goodness. gracious. hnfwnajdksnekelds.

  45. # Jessieon 30 Jan 2010 at 3:14 am

    “So I didn’t stuff all 14 crepes with vanilla ice cream that weekend.

    I stuffed some with coffee ice cream!”

    You had me laughing out loud with that! Crepes are a nice treat to have, even by the dozen occasionally ;)

  46. # Katrinaon 30 Jan 2010 at 5:59 am

    Guess I know what I’m having for breakfast!!

    Do you ALWAYS need a crepe pan?

  47. # Jessicaon 30 Jan 2010 at 6:10 am

    I didn’t use a crepe pan! Just a bigger skillet. :)

  48. # Rachel @ Working Out Wellnesson 30 Jan 2010 at 8:42 am

    Oh my, this is making me hungry & I just ate. Way to start my day off with a craving :(

  49. # Katieon 30 Jan 2010 at 12:01 pm

    oh my word. I’m on my way to your house right.

    (I also have to -kind of embarrassingly- admit that I had a dream that I was living at your house last night…you had a record collection and I was afraid of messing it up. Also, Lady Gaga was playing the whole time.)

  50. # Jennyon 30 Jan 2010 at 12:44 pm

    So crepes is what it takes to hang out with you in person?–I’m on it! ;)

    Coffee ice cream is divine!

  51. # elizaon 30 Jan 2010 at 1:14 pm

    Just wanted to let you know I did your Combo leg work out and just wanted to let you know it killed me! Love IT! THANKS.

    P.S do you really, actually eat all the yummy-ness you make? Or are you like Giada and take one bite and spit? Hahaha ;)

  52. # Spiceaholicon 30 Jan 2010 at 1:17 pm

    Oh my goodness those sound so good!

  53. # Elizaon 31 Jan 2010 at 8:25 pm

  54. # Anna @ unsweetenedcocoaon 01 Feb 2010 at 6:01 pm

    Those look ok.

    Joking…….!!! That looks a-maz-ing. I LOVE crepes and hot fudge and ice cream and fresh fruit–how brilliant to combine them all into one. I’d eat 14, too.

  55. # Jen @ My Kitchen Addictionon 01 Feb 2010 at 8:35 pm

    Yum! I would love to have some of this… Looks *amazing*
