Vegetable cooking spray for cooking
Combine eggs, water and cream in blender; blend 10 seconds. Add flour, cocoa, sugar, salt and butter; blend until smooth. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
Spray 6-inch crepe pan lightly with vegetable cooking spray; heat over medium heat. For each crepe, pour 2 to 3 tablespoons batter in pan; lift and tilt pan to spread batter. Return to heat; cook until surface begins to dry. Loosen crepe around edges; turn and lightly cook other side. Stack crepes, placing wax or parchment paper between each. Keep covered.

Assembling the Crepes
Place one cooled crepe on a plate. Spread one scoop of ice cream down the center of the crepe and roll crepe (seam side up is my preference). Add a dollop of whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Garnish with a mint sprig and serve immediately.
