Ingredients
Orange Creme:
  • ¼ cup fat free evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 4 0unces reduced fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
Crepes:
  • ¾ cup oat flour
  • ¼ cup oat bran
  • 1½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa (I use Special Dark)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¾ cup reduced fat milk (I use light Silk)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • orange sections (supremes) and toasted almonds for garnish
Instructions
  1. For the filling, place evaporated milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a medium metal bowl. Put both the milk and beaters/whisk in the freezer for 30 minutes. In the meantime, combine cream cheese, honey, orange zest and orange juice in a small bowl and mix well. Remove milk from freezer and whip until soft peaks form. Fold ½ the whipped milk into the filling and place both in the refrigerator.
  2. For the crepes, whisk together flour, oat bran, cocoa and salt in a medium bowl with a pouring spout. Add eggs, orange juice, vanilla, honey and ½ of the milk. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk (mixture will be thin). Heat a medium non-stick skillet with sloping sides over medium heat. Add ½ teaspoon coconut oil to the pan and coat evenly with a paper towel. Pour ⅙ of the batter into the skillet, forming a crepe about 5-6" in diameter. Cook 1 minute on one side; flip, and cook 30 seconds on the other side. Remove crepe from skillet and place on a plate. Continue with remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the pan when necessary.
  3. Spoon ⅙ of the filling down the middle of the warm crepe and fold over. Garnish with the reserved whipped milk, oranges and toasted almonds and serve. If the whipped milk has collapsed, just whip it again!
