Ingredients
For the Crêpes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Filling:
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- For Serving Optional:
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Fresh berries
Instructions
- Prepare the Crêpe Batter : In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. Allow the batter to rest for 30 minutes. This resting period ensures the flour is properly hydrated, contributing to a smoother and more delicate crêpe texture.
- Cook the Crêpes : Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the crêpe batter into the pan, swirling the pan to evenly distribute the batter into a thin layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift, then flip the crêpe and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, ensuring each crêpe is cooked to a golden brown.
- Prepare the Chocolate Filling : In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the dark chocolate chips and butter. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Crêpes : Place each crêpe flat on a surface and spoon a generous portion of the melted chocolate filling into the center of each crêpe. Roll the crêpe tightly around the chocolate filling, ensuring it is securely enclosed.
Notes
Serve : To serve, dust the assembled crêpes with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries, if desired. Serve immediately for the best experience.
