Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Crepes:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for greasing pan)
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
For the Chocolate Drizzle:
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
• 2 tbsp heavy cream (or milk for a lighter option)
Step-by-Step: How to Make Chocolate Drizzled Crepe
1. Make the Crepe Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let it rest for at least 15–30 minutes. This allows the flour to absorb the liquid, resulting in more tender crepes.
Pro Tip: You can also prepare the batter the night before and refrigerate it for a stress-free morning.
2. Cook the Crepes
• Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat.
• Lightly grease the surface with butter.
• Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to evenly coat the bottom.
• Cook for about 1–2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden.
• Flip gently and cook for another 30 seconds.
Transition Tip: Stack the cooked crepes on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you prepare the rest.
3. Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.
Want it fancier? Add a pinch of sea salt or a drop of espresso to intensify the flavor.
How to Assemble Your Chocolate Drizzled Crepes
• Lay out a crepe flat on a plate.
• Fill it with your favorite filling (optional): whipped cream, Nutella, strawberries, bananas, or mascarpone cheese.
• Fold it in quarters or roll it up.
• Generously drizzle with your warm, melted chocolate sauce.
Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar, chopped nuts, or even a dollop of ice cream for a restaurant-quality finish.
Tips to Elevate Your Chocolate Drizzled Crepes
• Use high-quality chocolate for a richer drizzle
• Make crepes ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze in layers with wax paper
• Use a crepe pan or non-stick skillet for even cooking
• Experiment with fillings – raspberry jam, lemon curd, peanut butter, or ricotta
