Chocolate Fruit Crepes – A Low Calorie Treat

I have been trying hard to lose weight this summer, but sometimes it is hard to resist desserts!  My 17 year old had crepes on a trip to Montreal this spring, and has been bugging me to make them for her.  Once I did a little research I realized that crepes are actually pretty low in fat, it is just adding rich fillings and whipped cream that make them calorie laden.  So I made fruit crepes using fruit and some chocolate syrup for a delicious low calorie dessert.

Blueberry Fool Chocolate Cake Recipe

Summer will be here soon and that means lots of fresh fruit  My family’s favorite fruit is blueberries, although strawberries are a close second.  We love to just eat them fresh, but sometimes we use them for dessert.  I have made Strawberry Fool before, but last week my daughter Eleanor decided to make Blueberry Fool, and then use it as a filling for a chocolate cake.  She made a thick layer of filling, just about as thick as the cake layers. It looked and tasted amazing!
