1. To a small saucepan, add cocoa mix and milk. Heat on med-low and stir until steaming and all the sugar has melted. Set aside to cool. (20 minutes)
2. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend on medium high until everything is combined.
3. Scrape down the sides of the blender at least once during the mixing process.
4. Pour into a medium sized bowl, cover, and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes but overnight is preferred.

• 1/2 t vanilla
• 1/4 almond extract
• 8 ounce heavy whipping cream

Directions:

1. Place your mixing bowl into the freezer for 15 minutes before mixing.
2. Add cream cheese and sugar to the cold bowl and combine with a whisk attachment with a stand or hand mixer. The scrap down the sides of the bowl.
3. Add extracts and mix again.
4. Add heavy whipping cream in three batches slowly; making sure it is completely blended before adding more.
5. Cover and store in the fridge until ready to use. Best if used the same day.

Pro-tips:

• Make crepé batter the night before for the best flavor and texture.
• Do not leave out the almond extract in whipped cream filling.
• Cut a few strawberries lengthwise and dip in chocolate ganache as a garnish!
• You can use any berries you like; raspberries and blackberries would be lovely.
