Ingredients
For the Crepes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Butter for greasing the pan
For the Chocolate Filling and Topping
- ½ cup chocolate hazelnut spread or melted chocolate
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- Powdered sugar, optional
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crepe Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour and salt, whisking continuously until the batter becomes smooth and thin.
For the best texture, let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Lightly grease the surface with butter.
Pour approximately ¼ cup of crepe batter into the center of the pan.
Immediately tilt and rotate the skillet to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
Step 3: Cook the Crepes
Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the underside turns lightly golden.
Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula.
Cook the other side for another 30–60 seconds.
Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 4: Prepare the Chocolate Sauce
Place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely melted and smooth.
Alternatively, melt them together over low heat in a small saucepan.
Step 5: Fill the Crepes
Lay a warm crepe flat on a clean plate.
Spread a thin layer of chocolate hazelnut spread or melted chocolate over the center.
Add a few slices of fresh strawberries.
Fold the crepe in half, then fold again into a triangle, or roll it into a neat shape.
Step 6: Add the Chocolate Drizzle
Arrange the folded crepes on a serving plate.
Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce generously over the top, creating beautiful chocolate ribbons.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Decorate with fresh strawberry halves.
For an extra touch, lightly dust with powdered sugar.
Serve immediately while the crepes are warm and the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
Tips for Perfect Chocolate Crepes
- Keep the batter thin: A smooth, pourable batter creates delicate crepes.
- Use medium heat: High heat can burn the crepes before they cook evenly.
- Don’t overfill: Too much chocolate or fruit makes folding difficult.
- Use fresh strawberries: They add natural sweetness and balance the rich chocolate.
- Serve warm: Warm crepes taste especially delicious with melted chocolate.
Storage
Refrigerator: Store plain cooked crepes in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Separate crepes with parchment paper and freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Warm in a nonstick skillet over low heat for 20–30 seconds per side.
For the best texture, add the chocolate and fresh strawberries just before serving.
