I’ve Tried a Million Fillings, This One Still Wins!
A few months ago, I shared a crepe tutorial and talked a bit about where this recipe comes from. When I was younger, my family hosted the sweetest foreign exchange student from France. Her dad owned a bakery, and she taught us his simple crepe tricks that stuck with me.
Once I learned how to make crepes and fill them all kinds of ways, my mom made them often when I was growing up. Now I make them all the time in my own kitchen. My boys’ favorite is crepes slathered with Nutella and filled with fresh strawberries, and honestly, it’s my favorite too.
Ingredients In Nutella Crepes
Whole milk: Makes the crepes creamy. Don’t use low-fat milk.
White all-purpose flour: Gives the crepe its shape. Spoon and level it when measuring.
Sugar: Gives it it’s sweet flavor.
Salt: Adds flavor. Use less if it’s table salt.
Unsalted butter: Gives flavor and stops sticking. Melt and cool it before using.
Vanilla extract: Adds a sweet taste and smell.
Eggs: Holds the crepe together.
Nutella: A creamy filling that makes these crepes. Warm it up a bit to spread easily.
How To Make Nutella Crepes
It’s as easy as 1,2,3,4…
Mix: Combine milk, flour, sugar, salt, melted butter, vanilla, and eggs in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Chill: Let the batter rest in the fridge for 1 hour.
Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet. Lightly butter it. Pour in some batter, swirl to spread thinly. Cook until golden, flip, cook the other side.
Fill & Serve: Spread Nutella on crepe, add fruits if desired, fold, and enjoy!
Tips And Tricks For Success
Batter Prep: Chill for at least an hour for light, airy crepes.
Pan Choice: Use a nonstick pan. (Here’s the exact pan I use when making crepes.)
Buttering: Adequately butter the pan initially; one application should last for 5-6 crepes. The first crepe might be extra crispy.
Flipping: Wait for golden spots, browned edges, and a matte finish before flipping.
Spreading Batter: Quickly swirl batter in the hot pan for thin crepes.
Melting Nutella: Microwave 1/2 cup Nutella in a bowl for 15 seconds, stir well. Repeat in 15-second intervals until desired consistency.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days with a small square of parchment paper between each layer.
If freezing, layer crepes between wax paper and store in a sealed container for up to 1 month.
Stuff Nutella Crepes With
Duh, Nutella! While various hazelnut spreads are available, I strongly suggest using the brand-name Nutella for the most authentic flavor.
We adore adding fresh fruit to these crepes, with bananas and strawberries being the perfect match.
Use freshly whipped Whipped Cream for a creamy Nutella Crepe.
For chocolate enthusiasts, consider adding Hot Fudge Sauce with your Nutella.
Nutella Crepes are a simple yet delicious treat that feels like a café-style indulgence right at home. Just blend up the batter, cook each delicate crepe in a skillet, and spread on some rich, chocolatey Nutella!
Fresh fruitsuch as sliced bananas and/or sliced strawberries
Powdered sugarand/or whipped cream, optional
Instructions
Add milk, flour, sugar, salt, melted and slightly cooled butter, vanilla and eggs to a high-powered blender. Blend on low speed until well combined, about 10–15 seconds.
Scrape sides and bottom of the blender if there’s any flour sticking, and blend a few seconds longer. Cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour (or overnight if desired).
Cut small squares of parchment to separate crepes. This is important so they don’t all stick together after being cooked, and especially important if you are saving/storing crepes in the fridge for later.
Heat an 8-to-10-inch nonstick pan over medium to medium-low heat. Remove batter from the fridge and give it a quick stir. Place 1 square of parchment paper down on a large tray or platter. This is where you’ll stack the crepes as they are cooked.
Lightly butter the skillet with melted butter and a pastry brush or paper towel dipped in the butter. Barely lift the pan off the heat and pour 1/4 cup crepe batter into the pan. Immediately, and working quickly, tilt and swirl the pan in a circular motion to evenly coat the bottom of the pan with batter. Return pan to the heat.
Cook until the crepe is golden brown on the bottom (1–2 minutes), then use an offset spatula to lift an edge of the crepe. Gently grab that edge of the crepe and using your fingers and the spatula, flip the crepe to the other side. Cook until golden brown spots appear (another 1–2 minute on bottom), then remove to prepared plate/tray. Place a piece of parchment or wax paper on top of the crepe.
Repeat until all the batter has been used. If crepes are cooking too quickly, reduce heat as needed, and increase heat if they are taking longer than 1–2 minutes per side to cook.
Soften Nutella: Transfer Nutella to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 15 seconds, then stir. (Microwave another 15 seconds if needed). You don’t want it too warm/melty, just so it can easily spread. Spread Nutella along the bottom half of the crepe. If desired, top with fresh, thinly sliced fruit. Fold crepes in half, and then half again to form triangles. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and add some whipped cream as desired. You can add a drizzle of Nutella if desired: Transfer Nutella to a plastic bag, seal without air, and cut off the tip with scissors. Pipe over the crepe triangles.
Nutrition Note: Nutritional information includes the crepe with 2 tablespoons of Nutella filling, but no additional fillings and no powdered sugar sprinkled on top.Storage: Let cooked crepes cool completely, then transfer to a large plastic bag. Seal without any air and refrigerate up to 5 days.
