How to spice up Bounty crepes?
Add chopped almonds to the coconut cream to enhance the flavors for a slight crunch. Another option is to add a dash of coconut liqueur to the cream to elevate the dessert's flavor. You can replace mascarpone with thick Greek yogurt for a lighter alternative, making the filling more refreshing.
Fit version of Bounty-style crepes
To create a lighter version of this dessert, use whole grain or spelt flour, replace sugar with erythritol, and use thick Greek yogurt instead of mascarpone. For the glaze, opt for dark chocolate with 85% cocoa. This version remains delicious while being a bit less caloric.
