Place the pears, dates and orange juice in a saucepan and bring them to the boil. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until the pears are tender.

Meanwhile, place he chocolate and ream in a bowl over a pan of simmering water until melted and smooth.

Blend the arrowroot into a smooth paste with 1 tbsp of water and stir into the pears to thicken the mixture slightly.

Cook the crepes as before, drizzling a little of each batter into the pan to create a marbled effect. Fill the crepes with the pear mixture and serve together with the chocolate sauce and creme fraiche.
