Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and eggs. Gradually add the milk, whisking until smooth. Add the melted butter and whisk until combined.
2
Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a small amount of the batter into the pan and tilt to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges start to curl and the surface is dry. Loosen with a spatula and flip. Cook for another minute, until lightly browned.
3
Repeat the process until all the batter is used, making about 8-10 crepes. Let the crepes cool on a wire rack.
4
In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, and candied fruit. Spoon a tablespoon of the filling onto the center of each crepe and roll up tightly.
5
Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth. Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the rolled crepes and serve warm.
