Ingredients
Scale
Crepes:
- 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
For Serving and Garnish:
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, etc.)
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, and sugar until the batter is smooth and thin without lumps. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes to improve texture (optional but recommended).
- Heat the Pan: Warm a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Crepes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling it around to form a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the crepe carefully and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown on the other side.
- Stack and Keep Warm: Remove the crepe and place it on a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking the crepes and keeping them warm by covering with a clean towel or placing them in a low-heat oven.
- Make the Nutella Cream Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Combine Nutella and Cream: Gently fold the Nutella into the whipped cream until the filling is smooth and light in texture.
- Fill the Crepes: Lay one crepe flat on a plate and spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the Nutella cream filling in the center.
- Fold or Roll: Fold the crepe into quarters or roll it up, whichever you prefer.
- Serve and Garnish: Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. Dust the crepes with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries and extra whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- Resting the crepe batter allows the flour to fully hydrate and helps the crepes become tender and less likely to tear.
- Use a nonstick pan or crepe pan for easy flipping and thin, even crepes.
- You can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- The Nutella cream filling can be adjusted for sweetness and thickness by modifying the amount of Nutella or powdered sugar.
- Fresh seasonal berries complement the richness of the Nutella filling beautifully.
- To keep crepes warm without drying, cover them with a damp towel or keep in a low oven around 200°F (90°C).
