Ingredients
Filling

- ½ cup Chopped Cashews
- ¼ cup Icing Sugar
- 12 Large Fresh Strawberries
Crepe Batter
- 1 cup Flour
- 2 Large Eggs, room temperature
- 1 ½ cup Whole Milk

- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons White Cane Sugar

Instructions
Nuts
- Using the same non-stick pan, lightly toast the cashews on medium-low heat until fragrant. This will take about 3-5 minutes. Let it cool and set aside until assembly.
Strawberries

Crepes
- Mix flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and sugar together until smooth with no lumps.
- Slowly melt the chilled unsalted butter in the non-stick pan on low heat. Once the butter starts to foam, pour ¼ cup of the batter into the pan and swirl it until it fully covers the bottom.
- Using your silicone flat spatula, flip the crepe when the edges start to show signs of browning. Let it cook for another 20 seconds before setting aside to cool. Repeat this step until the rest of the batter is finished.
Assembly
- Lay your crepe on a flat surface and place a spoonful of diced strawberry on the quadrant nearest you.
- Pile your scoop of Cheska's Premium Mango Ice Cream on top of the strawberries and sprinkle some toasted cashews on top.
- Neatly fold the crepe in half twice to form a triangle.
- Sift icing sugar on top before serving.
- Enjoy!
Notes
