2 tablespoons Torani Sugar Free Vanila Bean syrup

Directions:
Crepes - In a small mixing bowl add egg substitute, milk, and flour. Mix with fork, adding up to 1/4 cup of water to get the correct crepe consistancy. In a non stick crepe/omelet skillet on medium heat lightly spray skillet with non stick cooking spray. Batter will create 8 - approx 7" diameter crepes. Cook on each side until golden brown.
Filling - In a small mixing bowl add ricotta, vanilla and sugar substitute, blend with spatula.
Topping - In a small mixing bowl add cut fruit and vanilla bean syrup and stir.
To create crepes, open one crepe flat on plate, place 2 tablespoons of filling in center lengthwise of crepe. Fold crepe shy of 1/2 way and roll. Continue to create the batch of crepes. *HINT the cooked crepe itself stores and freezes very well (prior to filling), making it a great choice for a quick and easy breakfast direct from the freezer and thawed.
