Discover light, fluffy chocolate crepes rich in flavor—perfect for a gourmet breakfast or a delicious afternoon snack. Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a pure and intense chocolate taste.
Ingredients
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 70 cl milk
- 10 g oil
- 50 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 40 g sugar
- 1 salt (A pinch)
Instructions
- 1In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and unsweetened cocoa powder together to prevent lumps. Add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix well until evenly combined.
- 2Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to ensure a smooth texture without lumps.
- 3Pour in the oil and then the eggs. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
- 4If any lumps remain, run the batter through a blender or use an immersion blender to achieve a perfectly smooth consistency.
- 5Heat a crepe pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little oil or butter.
- 6Cook each crepe for approximately 10 to 20 seconds on each side. Repeat the process until all the batter is used, re-greasing the pan between crepes if necessary. (Watch the cooking process carefully; the dark color of the cocoa makes it difficult to judge browning by eye.)

Tips
- Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for a purer taste and better control over the sweetness.
- Serve with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Keep a close eye on the heat, as these can burn easily without it being obvious due to their dark color.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use sweetened cocoa powder, like Nesquik, to make chocolate crepes?
Yes, it is possible to use sweetened cocoa powder for your chocolate crepes. If you choose this option, omit the sugar from the recipe, as these cocoa mixes already contain a significant amount of sugar. However, I don't specifically recommend using these types of mixes as they contain a lot of sugar and additives. Unsweetened cocoa powder remains the best option for a rich flavor.
Can chocolate crepes be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze chocolate crepes. Place sheets of parchment paper between them to prevent sticking. Reheat in a warm pan or in the microwave before serving.
