Ingredients
Scale
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Filling:
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Toppings:
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh berries
- Whipped cream
- Chopped nuts
Instructions
For the Crepes:
- Mix the Batter: In a blender, combine the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt. Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Cook until the edges start to lift, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
For the Chocolate Filling:
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
Assemble the Crepes:
- Fill the Crepes: Spread a generous amount of chocolate filling onto each crepe. Fold in half, then fold in half again to form a triangle.
- Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and top with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- Rest the Batter: Letting the batter rest in the refrigerator helps to reduce bubbles and results in smoother crepes.
- Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A non-stick skillet is essential for making crepes. It ensures they cook evenly and don’t stick to the pan.
- Adjust the Heat: Keep an eye on the heat. If the crepes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat. If they’re taking too long to cook, increase the heat slightly.
- Make Ahead: You can make the crepes and chocolate filling ahead of time. Just store them separately in the refrigerator and assemble when ready to serve.
