Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Non-stick skillet or crêpe pan
- Spatula
- Small saucepan (for chocolate filling)
Ingredients
For Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat for lighter version)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Pinch of salt
For Chocolate Filling:
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
- ½ cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- 1 tbsp butter (optional, for extra richness)
Optional Garnishes:
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh berries
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Make crepe batter: Whisk flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Rest for 5–10 minutes.
- Cook crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour a thin layer of batter, swirling to coat. Cook 1–2 minutes until edges lift, then flip and cook briefly. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Prepare chocolate filling: Heat cream in a saucepan until warm. Pour over chocolate and stir until smooth. Add butter if desired.
- Fill crepes: Spread chocolate filling over each crepe. Fold into quarters or roll into cylinders.
- Garnish: Dust with powdered sugar, add berries, or top with whipped cream.
- Expert Tip: Keep cooked crepes warm in a low oven until serving to maintain softness.
Notes
- Use dark chocolate for a richer, less sweet flavor.
- Whole wheat flour adds fiber and a nutty taste.
- Dairy-free options: substitute plant-based milk and coconut cream.
- Crepes can be made ahead and stored in the fridge; reheat gently before filling.
- Perfect for customizing: add nuts, fruit, or flavored liqueurs to the chocolate filling.
