Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Crêpes:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

For the Chocolate Filling:

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate if preferred)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter

For Serving (optional):

Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Fresh berries (such as strawberries or raspberries)
Whipped cream
Chocolate sauce or Nutella (for extra indulgence)

Directions

Make the Crêpe Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
Cook the Crêpes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the pan, swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly. Cook the crêpe for 1-2 minutes on the first side, until the edges begin to lift, then flip it and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crêpes on a plate as you go. You should get about 8-10 crêpes.
Make the Chocolate Filling: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low-medium heat until it starts to simmer (but not boil). Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips and butter. Stir until smooth and creamy. If the filling is too thick, add a little more cream to reach your desired consistency.
Fill the Crêpes: Once the crêpes are cooked and the chocolate filling is ready, spread about 1-2 tablespoons of the chocolate filling in the center of each crêpe. Carefully roll them up like a burrito, folding the edges in as you go.
Serve: Place the filled crêpes on plates and dust with powdered sugar. Optionally, serve with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce or Nutella for an extra indulgent touch.
Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy these rich, chocolate-filled crêpes!

Variations

Fruit Fillings: Add fresh fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, or banana slices to the filling for a fruity twist.
Whipped Cream: For extra richness, top the crêpes with homemade or store-bought whipped cream.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store leftover crêpes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Reheating: To reheat, place the crêpes in a pan over low heat or in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. If the chocolate filling has hardened, gently warm it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften.
