Ingredients

For the Crepes:

• 2 large eggs
• 1 ¼ cups low-fat milk
• 1 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for greasing pan)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

For the Chocolate Filling:

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate, chopped)
• ½ cup light whipped cream or low-fat heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

• Fresh berries
• Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Make the Crepe Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes for best results.

2. Cook the Crepes
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes until edges lift easily, then flip and cook another 30 seconds. Repeat until all crepes are cooked.

3. Prepare the Chocolate Filling
In a heatproof bowl, combine chocolate chips and cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.

4. Assemble the Crepes
Spread 1–2 tablespoons of chocolate filling onto each crepe, then roll or fold into quarters.

5. Serve
Dust with powdered sugar and top with berries, whipped cream, or extra chocolate drizzle if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
