Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Let the batter sit for 15 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until set, then flip and cook for another minute.
- Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crêpes on a plate as they cool.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate in 30-second intervals until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold in melted chocolate until combined.
- To assemble, place one crêpe on a serving plate, spread a layer of the chocolate cream, and add a few slices of strawberries. Repeat layers until all crêpes are used, finishing with a crêpe on top.
- Pour remaining melted chocolate over the top crêpe, letting it drizzle down the sides. Garnish with extra strawberries. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Tip: For an even more indulgent experience, drizzle with extra melted chocolate before serving.
To ensure your crêpes don’t stick, make sure your pan is well-greased and hot before pouring in the batter. If you find the crêpes are tearing, try reducing the cooking time slightly.
For variations, swap strawberries for other fruits like raspberries or bananas for a twist. You can also add a splash of vanilla or almond extract to the filling for extra flavor. When storing, keep the cake covered in the refrigerator and enjoy within three days for the best texture.
