    dessert recipe
    For all you busy cooks who want to have a homecooked meal including dessert ready in a matter of minutes, here is a simple dessert you can make in a matter of minutes.  These Shortcut Warm Banana Chocolate Crepes are not only quick, they taste good, too.  Bananas are a great health food and should be included in your diet often.

    1 small pkg (4-serving size) Chocolate Instant Pudding Mix

    1 1/2 cups milk

    6 tbsps butter

    6 tbsps brown sugar

    3 med bananas, sliced

    3 large burrito-style flour tortillas

    6 tbsps frozen whipped topping, thawed

    In a medium bowl, with a wire whisk, beat the dry pudding mix into the milk. Whisk 2 minutes to thicken; set aside.

    In a large skillet, place the butter and brown sugar. Cook mixture over medium heat until butter is melted and the mixture is well blended, stirring occasionally. Add banana slices; cook while stirring for a couple of minutes until heated through. Transfer banana mixture to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

    Heat the tortillas, one at a time, in the same pan used above. Remove heat tortilla from pan and spoon about 1/2 cup of the pudding mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla. Top the pudding mixture evenly with the banana mixture. Fold in both ends of the tortilla, then roll up. Cut each tortilla, crosswise, in half to make 6 tortilla “crepes”.

    Place each half, seam side down on a serving plate. Top each half with approximately 1 tablespoon whipped topping before serving immediately.

    NOTE: You can also buy ready-to-use crepes if you don’t like tortillas.

    Enjoy!
