Waterloo Sparkling Water partnered with Curtis Stone to create some new recipes featuring its newest flavors. While the celebrated chef has shared dinner recipes and a granita, Stone is featuring a new option for the ultimate Mother’s Day Breakfast in Bed.
The Orange Vanilla Crepes with Whipped Mascarpone and Caramel Sauce might sound like a recipe that only a celebrated chef can make, but it is relatively easy. Home cooks should remember that a crepe is similar to a pancake, but thinner.
By using the Waterloo Orange Vanilla Sparkling Water in the batter, the ingredient not only brings a lovely flavor to the dish, it adds some lightness to the batter’s consistency. Similar to using a sparkling water in a tempura batter, these crepes feel airy. More importantly, they are full of flavor.
Here’s how to make the ultimate Mother’s Day Breakfast in Bed recipe, Orange Vanilla Crepes with Whipped Mascarpone and Caramel Sauce.
Crepe Batter:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup Waterloo Orange Vanilla Sparkling Water
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs
4 tsp sugar
Pinch of salt
2 tbs unsalted butter
Whipped Mascarpone:
8 oz mascarpone cheese, chilled
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
Caramel Sauce:
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
Pinch of salt
Method
To make crepes:
1. In blender, combine flour, Waterloo Orange Vanilla Sparkling Water, cream, eggs, sugar, and pinch of salt and blend until smooth. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
2. Heat medium (10-inch) frypan over medium-low heat. Melt 1 tsp butter in pan.
3. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into center of pan and swirl to coat bottom thinly. Cook 2 minutes, or until edges of crepe are light brown.
4. Loosen edges gently with thin spatula and carefully turn crepe over. Continue cooking 1 minute, or until bottom begins to brown in spots.
5. Transfer crepe to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter to pan as needed, and forming about 10 crepes in total.
Meanwhile, to make whipped mascarpone and caramel sauce:
6. In medium bowl, using whisk, lightly whip mascarpone, cream, and zest until soft peaks form. Set aside.
7. In medium saucepan over low heat, stir sugar and 1/4 cup water until sugar has dissolved. Increase heat to medium-high and boil without stirring for about 8 minutes, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush to dissolve any crystals, until caramel is golden brown. Remove pan from heat and slowly whisk in cream and pinch of salt; caramel will bubble vigorously.
To assemble and serve crepes:
8. Lay one crepe flat on work surface and spread some whipped mascarpone over crepe in thin layer. Repeat to assemble remaining crepes. Divide crepes among plates. Spoon caramel over crepes and serve.
A note regarding this recipe. Do not be intimidated by the crepes. Even if they are not perfectly thin, this dish will still taste amazing. Remember, it is about the effort, not the perfection on the plate.
