Ingredients
Scale
- For the crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for greasing the pan)
- For the toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Fresh strawberries or bananas
- Chocolate sauce
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and sugar. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
- Cook the crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift, then flip and cook for another 1 minute. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Assemble and serve: Fill the crepes with whipped cream, fruits, or chocolate sauce, and fold or roll them. Garnish with powdered sugar and additional toppings if desired.
Notes
- For extra indulgence, add a splash of liqueur like Grand Marnier to the batter.
- Substitute cocoa powder with dark chocolate powder for a richer flavor.
- Make ahead: Cook crepes and stack them with parchment paper between layers. Reheat before serving.
