Ingredients
For the Crepes:
Contents
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for cooking
For the Chocolate Filling: - 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces high-quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for sweetness)
For Garnish: - Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Chocolate syrup or melted chocolate
Instructions:
- In a blender, combine all crepe ingredients (flour, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, melted butter). Blend until the mixture is smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Brush with a small amount of melted butter.
- Pour a small amount of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift from the pan and the bottom is lightly golden.
- Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from the pan and set aside on a warm plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
For the Chocolate Filling: - Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
- Remove from the heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- If desired, add powdered sugar to the chocolate mixture for added sweetness.
Assembly: - Lay a crepe flat on a plate. Spread a generous amount of chocolate filling over half of the crepe.
- Fold the crepe in half over the chocolate, then fold again to form a quarter-circle or roll it into a tube.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup or melted chocolate and dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious chocolate-filled crepes!
Tips:
- Ensure your pan is the right temperature; if it’s too hot, the crepes will cook too quickly and be hard to flip.
- You can keep the cooked crepes warm in a low oven (200°F) covered with foil while you prepare the rest.
- The chocolate filling can also be flavored with a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for a twist.
