Chocolate Crepes
These rich, chocolatey dessert crepes look sophisticated and impressive, but are actually quick and easy to make!
Equipment
- 8" non-stick pan or crepe pan
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Optional Toppings:
- Powdered sugar
- Strawberries
- Chocolate Syrup
- Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Place all ingredients for the crepe batter into a blender. That includes milk, eggs, oil, vanilla, flour, sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Heat non-stick pan over medium low on stove. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour batter into pan, about ¾ cup for an 8-inch pan. Pick up pan from the burner and tilt to spread the batter around the bottom of the pan. Moving it in a circular tilting fashion will spread the batter out evenly. Batter should go to the ends of the bottom part of the pan.
- When the top is noticeably cooked, flip the crêpe to lightly brown the other side.
- Repeat process to cook the remaining crêpes, setting finished crêpes on plate with parchment paper between them to prevent sticking.
- Serve the crepes topped with your favorite topping, such as chocolate sauce, berries, whipped cream.
