Mango Crepes image

This is one of Pete Luckett's recipes. He is the owner of Pete's Frootique here in Halifax and his recipes are usually very good. Have not tried it yet but want to post it for safe keeping. It does not state the number of servings so I am guessing at 4. Also feel that fresh peaches could be subtituted for the mango. Preparation time does not include chilling in the fridge.
