Chocolate Crepes with Strawberries Recipe

These chocolate crepes filled with fresh strawberries are perfect for a decadent breakfast, dessert, or a sweet treat for any occasion.

Ingredients for the Crepes:

125g (1 cup) all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)

2 tablespoons sugar

2 large eggs

300ml (1 ¼ cups) milk

1 tablespoon melted butter (plus extra for cooking)

A pinch of salt

For the Filling and Topping:

200g (7 oz) fresh strawberries, sliced

50g (1.7 oz) dark chocolate, melted

Whipped cream (optional)

Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crepe Batter:

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then gradually add the milk and melted butter.

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking until smooth and lump-free.

Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.

2. Cook the Crepes:

Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with butter

Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan and swirl to spread it into a thin, even layer.

Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the crepe is set and lightly browned. Repeat with the remaining batter.

3. Assemble the Crepes:

Fill each crepe with a handful of sliced strawberries and fold it into quarters or roll it up.

Drizzle with melted dark chocolate and top with whipped cream, if desired.

4. Serve:

Sprinkle with powdered sugar for a final touch of sweetness before serving.

Notes:

For added flavor, you can include a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon in the batter.

You can substitute strawberries with other fruits like bananas, raspberries, or blueberries.

Enjoy these delicious chocolate crepes with strawberries—a delightful combination of rich chocolate and fresh fruit!
