Directions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth.
Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with butter.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the hot skillet, quickly swirling the pan to spread it into a thin, even circle.
Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges are golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, lightly buttering the pan as needed.
Fold the warm crepes into triangles.
Top the crepes with scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice cream.
Drizzle generously with warm chocolate sauce.
Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with brownie chunks or chocolate shavings.
Add fresh strawberries or raspberries for a fruity touch.
Drizzle caramel sauce alongside the chocolate sauce for extra richness.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I make these dessert crepes ahead of time?
You can prepare the crepe batter up to 24 hours in advance. Store the smooth batter, made with ingredients like flour, eggs, and milk, covered in the refrigerator. Whisk gently before cooking to ensure consistency, as the dry ingredients might settle slightly.
What is the best way to melt the chocolate for the drizzle?
For the best drizzle consistency, gently melt your chocolate in short intervals using a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring every 15-20 seconds. Ensure the chocolate is smooth and glossy before drizzling over the ice cream and crepes.
Can I substitute the ice cream in this recipe?
Absolutely! While the recipe calls for chocolate and vanilla ice cream, you can easily substitute these with your favorite flavors like strawberry or coffee. The key components are the thin crepes, so feel free to customize the creamy topping.
