4. Fruit sauce
Frozen fruits can also be used to make delicious sauces for your favourite crepes and pancakes. Simply cook frozen fruits along with a bit of orange juice and corn starch until the desired thickness is achieved. You can pour the sauce directly over the crepes, or through a filter for a smoother texture.
