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.
