Ingredients:

Crepes:

2 eggs

¼ C (2 oz./60g) sugar

1 C (8fl oz./240ml) milk

½ C (2½ oz/75g) all-purpose (plain) flour, sifted

1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

pinch of salt

3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted



Toffee:

1 C (8oz/240g) sugar

1 C (8 fl oz/240ml)water

1 C (8oz/240g)mascarpone cheese



Chocolate Sauce:

5oz (150g) semisweet (plain) chocolate

2 Tbsp unsalted butter

½ C (4 fl oz/120ml) heavy (double) cream

1 Tbsp brandy (optional)



Directions:

Crepes:

Place the eggs in a large bowl and beat well. Beat in the sugar, milk, flour, cocoa, salt and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Cover and let stand for 30mins.



Toffee:

1.) Lightly oil a baking sheet. Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil until golden, 5-7 minutes. Pour the toffee onto the baking sheet and tilt so that the toffee forms a thin layer. Let cool and harden for 10 minutes.



2.) Remove the toffee pieces from the baking sheet, place in a small bowl and crush the toffee with a spoon. Stir three-forths of the crushed toffee into the mascarpone. Set aside the remainder for decoration.



Chocolate Sauce:

Melt the chocolate and butter over simmering water in a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl set over (not touching) simmering watr in a pan. Stir in the cream until completely blended. Flavor with the Brandy, if desired.



After all that work:

1.) Heat a crepe pan or 8-inch (20cm) nonstick frying pan over moderate heat. Brush the bottom of the pan with some of the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Pour in 2 tablespoons of the crepe batter and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly and thinkly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the crepe is just set on top and brown underneath. Turn to the other side and cook for 1 minute. Remove to a plate and repeat until all of the mixture is used, making at least 6 crepes.



2.) Stack the cooked crepes on a plate with a piece of parchment (baking) or waxed (greaseproof) paper between each crepe. Keep the whole plate covered with a clean dish towel. When all of the crepes are cooked, place 1 tablespoon of the mascarpone and toffee mixture in the center of each crepe. Fold the sides over so it looks like a pillow. Serve each crepe drizzled with chocolate sauce and sprinkled with extra toffee.

3. ADD whipped topping; stir gently until well blended. Pour into prepared pan; smooth top with spatula. Refrigerate 4 hours or until set. Remove side of pan just before serving. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.



I like this recipe because it's simple, light and delicious, and due to the low amount of sugar (2 carbs per 1/8 cheesecake), it's suitable for diabetic or low carb diets. NOTE- Try different flavors by using diferent flavors of JELL-O. Raspberry is also a good one.
