RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For Chocolate Crepes

• 3 eggs at room temperature
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup milk

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to Make Chocolate Crepes

1. Add eggs, flour, cocoa powder, milk, butter, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender.
2. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds to 1 minute or until well combined. Scrape the sides if needed, and blend again. Transfer the batter to a bowl. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes, or make crepes immediately. I am using a blender for making this crepe batter, you can use a wire whisk, a hand whisk, or a blender.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Grease the pan with butter and then lift the pan. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the middle of the pan. Now tilt the pan around in a circular motion. This way the crepe batter stretches and covers the whole bottom of the pan. Alternatively, you can also use a crepe tool to spread the batter evenly. Place the pan on the heat again, and cook the crepe for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the top has set.6
4. When it is nice and dry, loosen the edges with a thin-edged spatula. Now, gently flip the chocolate crepe using a spatula or your hands and cook the other side for 20-30 seconds. Place it on a plate, and repeat until the remaining batter is used up, and also remember to mix the batter each time. Stack the cooked crepes on top of each other.
5. Fill the chocolate crepes with any of your favorite fillings and roll it up or fold. I filled chocolate crepes with coconut cream, strawberries, and bananas.
6. Then I drizzled them with chocolate sauce, and caramel sauce, and then sprinkled them with butterscotch nuts. Alternatively, you can fold the chocolate crepe in half and then half again to create a triangle and top it with your favorite toppings. Enjoy these easy, and delicious homemade chocolate crepes are ready!

RECIPE NOTES

1. Batter consistency - Make sure to make a nice and smooth batter to make thin and perfect crêpes. Also, the batter should be of pouring and easy-to-swirl consistency.
2. Resting/chilling time - You can make the crepes straight away or let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes. I personally like to rest the batter for a minimum of 15 minutes, because this way you get the best taste and texture of chocolate crepes. Also, your crepes will turn out delicate and tender. You can even let the batter rest for 1 hour or overnight. The resting time allows the flour to absorb the liquid and makes it stable by giving flour a chance to hydrate.
3. Preheat the pan for even cooking - Always preheat the pan over medium heat until it is nice and hot before you pour the and swirl batter. This way crepes cook quickly and evenly.
