Nutella Cream-Filled Crepes

Thin, delicate crepes filled with a rich Nutella cream cheese mousse, dusted with powdered sugar and served with fresh fruit for a decadent French-inspired dessert or breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1/2 cup Nutella
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Additional butter for cooking
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Fresh strawberries or bananas for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare crepe batter: In a bowl, whisk eggs and milk until combined. In another bowl, mix flour and salt, then add to the egg mixture. Whisk until smooth and lump-free. Stir in melted butter. Let rest while preparing filling.
  2. Make Nutella mousse: Whip chilled heavy cream to soft peaks. Add softened cream cheese, Nutella, and powdered sugar. Whisk until smooth and lump-free. Cover and chill.
  3. Cook crepes: Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat, lightly butter it. Pour 1/3 cup batter, swirl to form a thin layer. Cook 1-2 minutes until edges lift, flip and cook 30 seconds more. Repeat for 8 crepes, stacking on a plate.
  4. Assemble: Spread generous portion of Nutella mousse on one half of each crepe. Fold in half, then into a triangle. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh fruit.

Notes

Resting the batter improves texture; don’t overwhip mousse to avoid graininess. Crepes can be made ahead and kept warm in a low oven. Warm crepes make Nutella spread easier.
