- 1 Electric mixer For whipping the cream.
Ingredients
Crepe Batter
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Forms the base of the crepes.
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Adds chocolate flavor.
- 2 large Eggs Essential for binding.
- 1.5 cups Milk (or Dairy-Free Alternative) Brings moisture and creaminess.
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Balances the bitterness of cocoa.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds warmth and depth.
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup Heavy Cream For making whipped cream.
- 2 tablespoons Sweetener of Choice To sweeten the whipped cream.
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups of milk (or a dairy-free alternative), 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the batter is smooth. Make sure there are no lumps for the best texture.
Cook the Crepes
- Next, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking. Once hot, pour in a small amount of batter, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly. This should be about 1/4 cup of batter. Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the surface appears set. Then, carefully flip it using a spatula and cook for another minute on the other side. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate. Keep them warm by covering them with a clean kitchen towel.
Make the Whipped Cream
- For the whipped cream, in a separate bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of sweetener (like powdered sugar or maple syrup) until soft peaks form. This should take just a few minutes.
Serve
- Finally, serve the warm chocolate crepes topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream. You can also add fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra touch.
