The dark, crisp chocolate tortilla is a wonderful contrast to a filling of sweet, ripe and fresh fruit. Top the fruit with a bright, icy smooth fruit sorbet and you have a stunning dessert! The fruit filling listed is not set in stone. Read more Use whatever fruit is fresh at the market. See less

How to make it
- TO MAKE THE BATTER:
- Place all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth with an electric mixer. Cover the batter and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- TO COOK AND SHAPE THE TORTILLA:
- Remove the batter from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature, which will take 20-30 minutes. Heat a small skillet or crepe pan over low heat. Pour in about 1/4 cup of batter (I use a long-handled measuring cup as my ladle) and tilt the pan quickly to spread the batter into a 6-inch or 8-inch circle. Once the edges look dry (2 or 3 minutes), loosen the edges with a knife and turn over the tortilla. Cook for another minute or two.
- Life the soft hot chocolate tortilla out of the pan with a knife or spatula and quickly drape it over a rolling pin. It will become firm and crisp as it cools.
- NOTE: if the tortilla doesn't firm up, it means the tortilla isn't thoroughly done, so cook it a bit longer. It should be dry when you remove it from the skillet.
- DIRECTIONS FOR FRUIT FILLING:
- Gently mix berries together in a bowl. Keep the remaining fruit separate until assembling or they'll pick up the colors from the berries.
- TO SERVE:
- Place a tortilla on a serving plate. Generously fill it with the berries and then tuck in the mango and kiwi. Add a scoop of sorbet and garnish with mint sprigs.
