Ingredients
Scale
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk (whole or dairy-free, such as almond milk)
- 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup warm water (to adjust batter consistency if needed)
For the Filling (optional):
- Whipped cream or mascarpone cheese
- Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, etc.)
- Chocolate sauce or melted chocolate
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crepe Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free. If the batter seems too thick, add a small amount of warm water to reach a thin, pourable consistency. - Rest the Batter:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the crepes cook more evenly. - Cook the Crepes:
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, tilting the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges of the crepe begin to lift and the bottom is set.
Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
Remove the crepe and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go. - Fill and Serve:
Once all the crepes are cooked, fill each one with whipped cream, mascarpone, or fresh berries. You can also drizzle melted chocolate or chocolate sauce for added indulgence.
Fold or roll the crepes and dust with powdered sugar before serving. - Enjoy:
Serve these chocolate crepes warm and enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or a sweet dessert wine.
Notes
- The crepes can be made ahead and stored in the fridge or freezer. Simply reheat in a warm pan before serving.
- For a more decadent experience, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or chocolate ganache on top.
- Experiment with different fillings such as Nutella, peanut butter, or caramel sauce.
