I love Red Velvet, and when I learned that all you need to do is add cocoa powder and red food dye to make Red Velvet, I went crazy. On Saturday mornings I like to make fancy breakfasts for my family (but don't judge, I eat healthy the rest of the week). Crepes (one of my favorite "fancy" breakfasts) combined with Red Velvet = heaven! I was inspired by an other crepe recipe, but I used my own crepe recipe, and just added the cocoa powder and red dye. I used their cream cheese filling recipe, but left out the coffee and rum. Here is my version of Red Velvet Crepes:

2. Put 1/4 cup batter in frying pan.
