- 2 teaspoons honey (sugar or agave nectar may be used instead)

Raspberry Sauce
- 1 pint fresh raspberries

Instructions
Green Tea Crepes
- Add all of the crepe ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Place the crepe batter in a covered container in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a 8-10 inch non stick skillet over medium heat.
- Spray the skillet with cooking spray then pour in a scant 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the center of the pan.
- Immediately tilt the pan in all directions until the batter covers the pan with a thin layer.
- Cook the crepe for 30-60 seconds or until it is light brown underneath and releases from the pan with a rubber spatula.
- Flip the crepe over using a rubber spatula and cook for another 30 seconds or until the center is set.
- Stack the crepes on a clean kitchen towel to cool completely and continue the process.
Matcha Ricotta Filling
- Combine all of the filling ingredients together in a bowl using a whisk or spoon until completely incorporated.
- Refrigerate until you are ready to use.
Raspberry Sauce
- In a small saucepan over medium heat add the raspberries and honey.
- Simmer the sauce until the berries become soft then mash them with a potato masher or back of a spoon.
- Continue to simmer the sauce for several more minutes or until it has thickened slightly.
- Pour the sauce into a small bowl through a strainer to remove the seeds.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
Assembling the Crepes
- Spread a couple tablespoons of the ricotta filling over half of a crepe.
- Fold the crepe in half covering the filling, then fold it in half again so it is in fourths.
- Drizzle the top of the crepes with the raspberry sauce.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
- Serve immediately.
