Ingredients

For the Chocolate Crepes:

• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted

For the Peanut Butter Marshmallow Filling:

• 2 large egg whites
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter

For the Caramelized Bananas:

• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 3 large bananas, peeled and sliced

Directions

For the Crepes:

1. In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, water, vanilla extract, flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and melted butter. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth.
2. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/3-1/2 cup of the batter into the pan, swirling to cover the bottom completely.
3. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the top looks mostly cooked. Carefully flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining batter.

For the Filling:

1. In a heat-proof bowl, combine egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar. Set over a saucepan of simmering water, whisking constantly, until the sugar dissolves (about 2 minutes).
2. Remove from heat and transfer to a mixer. Beat on high until the mixture is glossy and thick (about 6-7 minutes).
3. Add vanilla extract and peanut butter, beating until just blended.

For the Caramelized Bananas:

1. Whisk together brown sugar, water, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
2. In a skillet over low heat, cook the banana slices in the brown sugar mixture, stirring gently until caramelized (about 3-4 minutes).

To Serve:

1. Spoon or pipe the peanut butter marshmallow filling down the center of each crepe.
2. Roll each crepe into a tube, approximately 1-inch thick.
3. Top with caramelized bananas.
