    List of Ingredients




    APRICOT FILLING:
    1 3/4 cups dried apricots
    1/3 cup superfine sugar
    2 teaspoons lemon juice
    1 egg, beaten
    1/2 oz unsalted butter, softened

    COFFEE CREPES:
    3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    5 teaspoons sugar
    2 eggs, beaten
    2 tablespoons instant coffee granules, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
    3/4 cup milk
    1/2 oz unsalted butter, melted

    TOPPING:
    6 teaspoons granulated sugar
    1 oz unsalted butter

    COCONUT CREAM:
    2 oz creamed coconut
    2/3 cup whipping cream

    Recipe



    First make apricot filling: soak apricots in boiling water to cover overnight.

    Transfer apricots and soaking water to a pan. Stir in sugar. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until soft. Process in a blender or food processor until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and cool slightly, then stir in egg and butter; set aside.

    To make crepes, sift flour into a bowl, stir in superfine sugar, then eggs. Gradually beat in coffee, milk and butter. Leave to stand for 1 hour.

    Preheat oven to 425F (220C). In a greased 9-inch frying pan, make 12 crepes. Transfer to a plate as they are cooked.

    Place a spoonful of apricot filling on one half of each crepe and fold into quarters. Arrange in a baking dish, sprinkle with granulated sugar and dot with butter. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until a golden crust forms on the top.

    To make coconut cream, in a saucepan heat creamed coconut and milk gently until smooth. In a bowl, combine cream and coconut milk; whip until just thick. Serve with the crepes.

    Serves 6.
