2/3 teaspoon orange zest
7 tablespoons flour

For the crepes, combine the eggs and flour in a blender and blend until
smooth. Gradually add the milk until fully mixed. Pour in the butter,
Godiva Liqueur and sugar; stir, cover, refrigerate and allow to rest for
two hours. For each crepe, pour 2 tablespoons (1 oz) of batter onto a

of the pan. Cook on medium-high heat until the edges are light brown,
turn over and cook for one additional minute. Stack the crepes with wax

crepes. For the pastry cream, beat the egg yolks, sugar, and orange
zest in a mixer, add the flour and mix until smooth. Gradually add the
milk and 1/2 cup of Godiva Liqueur until blended. Pour into a saucepan
and bring to a boil; boil for four minutes, stirring constantly. Remove
from heat and stir in the remaining Godiva Liqueur. Strain the pastry
cream into a bowl, cover and refrigerate. Yields one quart. To serve,
fill each crepe with 1/2 cup pastry cream, fold it in half and garnish
with whipped cream, strawberries, and fresh mint.
