Description
A delightful recipe for Strawberry Cream Chocolate Crepes, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, combining rich chocolate crepes with luscious strawberry cream filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped (for the filling)
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced (for topping)
- ¼ cup chocolate sauce or melted chocolate (for drizzling)
- Whipped cream (optional, for extra indulgence)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries.
- Take a cooked crepe, spread a spoonful of the strawberry cream filling onto one half, and fold or roll it up. Repeat until all crepes are filled.
- Serve topped with sliced strawberries, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Resting the batter is crucial for tender crepes.
- Keep the skillet at medium heat to avoid burning.
- Store leftover crepes in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Feel free to experiment with different fruits for the filling.
- For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
