Ingredients
    1 cup flour
    2 teaspoons sugar
    2 teaspoons espresso powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 cup milk
    1/2 cup water
    2 teaspoons butter, melted
    2 large eggs
    1/2 cup half-and-half
    2 tablespoons honey
    3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
    2 cups coffee ice cream
    dark chocolate, curls
    espresso powder
Preparation
    In a small bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, espresso powder and salt.
    In a blender combine the milk, water, melted butter, and eggs.
    Pulse a few times to lightly blend.
    Add the dry ingredients and blend until smooth.
    Cover and chill-up to 1 hour.
    Heat a non stick crepe pan or skillet over medium heat. (if using a skillet use a touch of butter to prevent sticking).
    Pour 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the pan.
    Quickly tilt pan in all directions so batter covers pan with a thin coat.
    cook for 30 to 35 seconds.
    Carefully lift crepe with a spatula and turn.
    Cook for an additional 30 seconds.
    Place cooked crepe on a towel.
    Repeat with remaining batter.
    Makes 12 crepes.
    In a small saucepan over medium heat combine half-and-half and honey.
    Cook for 3 minutes, stirring often.
    Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate.
    Stir until melted and smooth.
    Fold each crepe in half, fold in half again.
    Place each crepe on a plate.
    Top each with 1/2 cup of ice cream-drizzle on 4 teaspoons of chocolate sauce on each.
    Top with chocolate curls and dust with espresso powder.
