Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.

These could work for breakfast or dessert.

Servings: Serves 4 – 6

Ingredients:

For the Crepes

  • 4 eggs
  • 4 Tbl heavy cream
  • 2 Tbl of oil (I used peanut oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp of stevia (Truvia or Purevia)
  • ½ tsp of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

For the Filling

  • 1 cup of mascarpone cream (Italian cream cheese)
  • 1 tsp of stevia
  • Various berries. Raspberries, strawberries(sliced) and blackberries all work great. You can use other fruits cut into chunks, like ripe peaches or mango. Any fruit that is soft when ripened. You need ½ cup of fruit per person.

Directions:

Whisk ingredients  (except cinnamon or pie spice) together really well. Lightly butter a small sauté pan over medium heat. Pour small amount of batter in heated pan and swirl around to spread out thinly. You don’t want to see through it; about 1/8 “ thick will do it.

Let cook about 2 minutes or until brown at the edges. Flip and cook just a few seconds on other side. Continue with the rest of the batter.  When you drop the crepe out of the pan onto a cutting board or work surface you can then lightly sprinkle with the spice. Then fill and roll.

Making the filling

Mix the mascarpone with the stevia to sweeten. When the crepes are still warm place  ¼ cup of berries and a tablespoon of mascarpone on one side of each crepe. Then you can fold it over or roll it and leave it seam-side down.

Tow with powdered stevia if you want a sweeter and slightly fancy presentation. I serve two per person.

The outsides are still a bit warm and the inside is the colder cream. A lovely combination.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Roasted Prime Rib

When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!

Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach

The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Cranberry Royale (EASY)

This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.

Chive Butter Biscuits

This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
