Ingredients and Detailed Notes

1. All‑Purpose Flour - 120 g, sifted well. Creates a smooth, thin, and flexible batter that makes soft, easy‑to‑roll crepes without breaking.

2. Whole Milk - 250 ml, room temperature. Gives the crepes a soft, tender texture and mild milky flavor.

3. Large Eggs - 2 pieces, room temperature. Bind the ingredients, add richness, and give the crepes their light structure.

4. Granulated Sugar - 20 to 30 g, adjust to taste. Adds subtle sweetness without making the crepes too sweet.

5. Unsalted Butter - 20 g, melted + extra for greasing the pan. Makes the batter smooth and gives crepes a soft, non‑sticky finish.

6. Vanilla Extract - ½ tsp, enhances aroma and balances the flavor.

7. Pinch of Salt - Just a tiny amount to bring out the sweetness and overall taste.

8. Chocolate Filling - 150 to 200 g, use high‑quality hazelnut chocolate spread, melted milk chocolate mixed with a little cream, or smooth chocolate custard. It should be thick enough to hold its shape when rolled.

Step‑by‑Step Method Chocolate Cream Filled Crepes

A. Make the Crepe Batter

• In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until smooth. Add milk and vanilla, mix well.
• Gradually add sifted flour and salt, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
• Stir in melted butter. Strain the batter through a fine sieve for an extra smooth texture. Let it rest for 15–20 minutes at room temperature this relaxes the gluten and prevents tearing while cooking.

B. Cook the Crepes

• Heat a non‑stick pan over low‑medium heat. Lightly grease with a little butter.
• Pour about 3–4 tablespoons of batter into the pan, immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
• Cook for 40–60 seconds until the edges lift easily and the surface is set. Flip and cook the other side for 20–30 seconds only.
• Stack cooked crepes on a plate to keep them soft and flexible.

C. Fill and Roll

• Spread a generous layer of chocolate filling evenly over each crepe, leaving a small border at the edge.
• Roll it up tightly from one side to the other into a neat cylinder.
• Arrange the rolls on a serving plate. Drizzle extra melted chocolate over the top for decoration.

D. Serve

Serve warm or at room temperature. Best enjoyed fresh while the crepes are soft and the filling is creamy.
