Description
Delicious chocolate crepes filled with a rich cream filling, topped with crushed chocolate cookies and mint leaves.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Crushed chocolate cookies for topping
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flour to fully absorb the liquid.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to evenly cover the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the underside is lightly browned. Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Prepare the Cream Filling: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the Crepe Rolls: Spread a thin layer of the whipped cream filling over each crepe. Roll each crepe tightly and slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Serving: Arrange the crepe rolls on a serving platter. Top with crushed chocolate cookies. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the batter is smooth to avoid lumps in the crepes.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to achieve a pourable consistency.
- Resting the batter helps to create tender crepes.
- Chill the mixing bowl and beaters for the whipped cream for best results.
- Experiment with different fillings like Nutella or fruit compote for variety.
