For the Chocolate Sauce:

¼ cup Coconut Oil¼ cup Cacao Powder 1 tablespoon Lucuma PowderCacao Nibs Sliced Figs Toasted Hazelnuts

"LOLO LOVES CREPES" ASSEMBLY

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cacao, flaxseeds, salt, and 3½ cups of water. Allow to rest for 30 minutes or overnight.

To make the Compote:

1 | Add the figs, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, cacao, and vanilla to a medium saucepan. 2 | Place over medium heat and cook at a simmer, stirring often, for 30 minutes (or until the figs are broken down and most of the liquid has been absorbed). 3 | Remove from the heat and let cool.

To make the Chocolate Sauce:

1 | Warm the oil over a double boiler until liquefied. 2 | Whisk in the cacao and lucuma, stirring well. 3 | Remove from the heat and set aside.

To make the Crepes:

1 | Warm a bit of coconut oil in a non-stick skillet or crepe pan. 2 | Once melted, tilt the pan to cover the entire diameter of the skillet, immediately pouring in about ¼ cup of the batter. Very quickly, tilt the pan once more to cover the entire surface with batter, returning the skillet to the heat. 3 | Cook the crepe over medium-low heat until the edges begin to bubble and the bottom starts to release. 4 | Remove and continue with the rest of the batter.

To assemble:

1 | Place a crepe on a flat surface and drop ¼ cup of the compote in the center. 2 | Place on a serving plate and drizzle chocolate sauce over the top, serving with the cacao nibs, figs, hazelnuts, and whipped cream.*Makes 15 crepes (using an 8-inch pan).Recipe excerpted from HIGH VIBRATIONAL BEAUTY.
