Buttes Chaumont

coffee-crêpe with white chocolate cream and grapefruit sauce

When i woke up from my afternoon nap i remembered the grapefruits in my fridge and that i really needed to do something with them.
so here is what i came up with:

coffee-crêpe with white chocolate cream and grapefruit sauce

and here is how to do it:

coffee-crêpe:
just do normal crêpe with egg, milk and flour and add a small but fairly strong espresso.

white chocolate cream:
put a bowl in a pot of boiling water and melt white chocolate in it: When the chocolate is entirely liquid add crème fraiche (optimal would be 1 part crème fraiche and two parts chocolate but that isn't really important).
stir until its an even cream, fill it in cups, bowls or glasses and let it cool in the fridge.

grapefruit sauce:
turn the grapefruit into filets, press the juice out of the remaining part of the grapefruit into a glass. let sugar caramelize (you can add some cinnamon). when the sugar is liquid and brown add the grapefruit juice and let it cook for some minutes to reduce and concentrate the sauce.
add the grapefruit filets, stir and let it cool in the fridge.

Try to decorate all those things nicely and youre ready to enjoy!

In the 15th arrondissement, next to the Seine and 5 minutes from my workplace lays the
Parc André Citroen.



when I went there first I didnt liked it much.. until i descovered the parc entry on the north-side with its enchanted gardens and wild forests























so, when ever the sun is shining, i go there to spend my break on a sunny bench like that, enjoying the smell of lavender and the warmth of the sun!
