Turn and cook until spotted brown on second side, about 15 seconds. Flip onto serving plate. Fill with 1 Tablespoon Apricot Mousse and roll up. Serve warm or at room temperature. Allow 2 crepes per serving.

Add enough cold water to cover. Cook over medium heat 15 minutes, or until tender. Let apricots cool in cooking liquid, then transfer both apricots and liquid to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Turn into a large bowl. Stir in almond liqueur. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold about one third of egg whites thoroughly into apricot puree, then fold remaining egg whites until just blended.
