Instructions
Blintzes:
- In a medium bowl, beat together 2 eggs, milk, water, salt, and flour until well-mixed. Don't over-beat. Let rest at room temp for 30 minutes.
- Heat a small skillet and spray a light coating of oil.
- Whisk batter till smooth then pour in your pan and swirl it around trying to keep it a nice circle.
- Once fully cooked but not browned, flip and cook the other side for a few seconds before removing from the pan and placing on a plate.
Filling:
- In a small bowl combine ricotta, egg yolk, sugar, tahini and melted chocolate. Mix until smooth.
Assembling:
- Place about an eighth cup of filling into the bottom center of your blintz and wrap tightly like a burrito.
- Heat a pan with a drop of oil to medium heat and cook your blintzes for 1-2 minutes on each side.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of melted chocolate if desired.
