Instructions: To prepare filling, stir 1/4 cup sugar into ricotta and set aside. Mash 1/4 cup berries with fork and mix with 2 tablespoons of sugar and lemon juice. Stir in remaining berries and set aside.

Spread about 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture over each crepe and fold in half, then in half again, to form triangles. Arrange on a greased, heat-proof platter and brush with butter and remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake 10 minutes.

To prepare chocolate sauce: Combine ingredients and heat over double-boiler or in microwave, stirring occasionally to blend, until chocolate has melted.

After removing crepes from oven, top with raspberries and chocolate sauce and serve.

RED ROBIN(r) SMOOTHIES
Chillin Mango Smoothie

This drink is offered as a special limited-time-only summer refresher.

The chain uses a special mango mix made by Torani, the same company that makes those flavoring syrups often found in coffee shops. But since this special ingredient can be hard to come by well substitute canned mango, which is usually found chilled in jars near the produce.

3/4 cup canned mango slices, with juice
3/4 ounce grenadine
1/4 cup orange juice
1 cup ice

Garnish
orange wedge
maraschino cherry

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender on high speed and mix until smooth.

2. Pour into a (12-ounce) glass then add an orange slice and maraschino cherry speared on a toothpick. Serve with a straw.

Makes one drink.

Groovy Smoothie

The strawberries used for this drink come in a small box in the freezer section. These berries work great because when thawed they wind up swimming in juicy sweet syrup. The restaurant adds to the drink a special blend of apple, raspberry and blackberry juices called "groovy mix," but we can still
create an excellent clone by using a blend of apple and berry juices made by Langers. If you cant find that brand, use any berry juice blend you can get your hands on.

1/3 cup frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed 1/2 ripe banana
1/3 cup Langers berry juice (a blend of berry and apple juices)

1/4 cup Kerns Peach Nectar
1/2 cup ice
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream

Garnish
orange wedge
maraschino cherry

1. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend on high speed until smooth.

Pour into a (16-ounce) glass.

2. Add an orange wedge and a maraschino cherry speared on a toothpick. Serve with a straw.
