Crêpes Suzette with Ice Cream
The French term
'à la
mode'
means "of the fashion' (i.e., what is in fashion). It is also
used to describe a dessert served with ice cream. So if you
serve crêpes with ice cream, it is 'crêpes à la mode' .
In general ice
cream (particularly vanilla ice cream) goes one with dessert
crêpes, but of course one would not serve it with a non-sweet
crêpe (e.g. one with a cheese or meat filling).
One of the most
popular recipes for children (and adults) is Crêpes Suzette
served with vanilla ice cream, which then becomes 'Crêpes
Suzette à la Mode'. Of course, Crêpes Suzette is not served
with ice cream in the traditional recipe. However, kids really
like it, so why not?
