Description
Stuffed Crepe Rolls with Chocolate & Nutty Filling are thin, soft pancakes rolled with a rich, creamy filling and finished with a drizzle of chocolate. These delicate crepes are light yet indulgent, with a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. Ideal for breakfast, dessert, or special occasions, they look impressive but are surprisingly easy to make at home.
Ingredients
For the Crepes:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Pinch of salt
For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup peanut butter or hazelnut spread
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (peanuts, almonds, or hazelnuts)
- 2 tbsp honey or powdered sugar (optional)
For Topping:
- Melted chocolate or chocolate syrup
- Crushed nuts (optional)
Instructions
1. Make the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and melted butter. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes.
2. Cook the Crepes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a thin layer of batter and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes, flip, and cook another minute. Repeat with remaining batter.
3. Add Filling
Spread peanut butter or chocolate spread over each crepe. Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly.
4. Roll
Roll each crepe tightly into a log shape.
5. Serve
Arrange rolls on a plate, drizzle with melted chocolate, and sprinkle with extra nuts.
