Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
Nutella Cream Filling
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
To Serve
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, etc.)
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, and granulated sugar until the batter is smooth and thin without lumps. For best results, let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes to improve texture.
- Heat the Pan: Warm a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat, lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, immediately swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the crepe carefully and cook the other side for 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown. Remove the crepe and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes and keeping them warm by covering with a clean towel or placing briefly in a low-heat oven.
- Make the Nutella Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the Nutella until fully combined for a creamy, spreadable filling.
- Assemble the Crepes: Spread a layer of Nutella cream filling over each crepe and roll or fold them. Arrange the filled crepes on serving plates.
- Garnish and Serve: Dust the crepes with powdered sugar, add fresh berries on the side, and top with extra whipped cream if desired. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Allowing the batter to rest improves the texture and prevents tearing.
- Use a nonstick skillet or crepe pan for even cooking and easy flipping.
- Keep cooked crepes warm by covering or placing in a low oven to prevent drying out.
- You can substitute heavy whipping cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
- Fresh berries add a nice tart contrast to the sweet Nutella filling.
