Ingredients
For the Crepes
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 1/4 cup milk (room temperature)
- 1 cup flour
Filling
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- Chocolate spread as required
Method
Make the crepe batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, and salt until smooth. Add the oil and mix well. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously so the mixture stays lump-free.
Gradually add the flour and whisk until you get a smooth, thin batter. Avoid overmixing because that can make the crepes slightly chewy instead of soft. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes. This helps the flour absorb the liquid properly and gives better texture.
Cook the crepes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil if needed.
Pour a little batter into the pan and immediately swirl it around to form a thin layer. Cook for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until the edges begin to lift slightly. Flip carefully and cook the other side briefly.
Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Stack the crepes gently and allow them to cool completely before filling.
Prepare the filling
Whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form. The cream should be smooth and fluffy but not overwhipped.
Spread a layer of chocolate spread over each crepe, then add some whipped cream evenly across the surface.
Roll and serve
Carefully roll each crepe into a tight log shape. For a cleaner presentation, chill them for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve the chocolate crepe rolls as they are or drizzle extra chocolate on top for a richer finish. You can also dust them lightly with powdered sugar for a simple bakery-style look.
