Ingredients Notes

The beauty of these Nutella Cream-Filled Crepes lies in their simple yet delicious ingredients. Each component plays a crucial role in making this dish irresistible.

Flour provides the base for the crepes. I recommend using all-purpose flour for the best texture. If you want a lighter option, you can use a mix of all-purpose and whole wheat flour, but expect a slightly denser result.

Milk is essential for achieving the thin, delicate texture of the crepes. Whole milk works best, but you can use 2% or even a dairy-free alternative like almond or oat milk.

Eggs add structure and richness to the crepe batter. Make sure they are at room temperature for the best consistency.

Butter gives the crepes a lovely, subtle richness and prevents them from sticking to the pan. Always use unsalted butter for better control over the flavor.

Nutella and heavy cream create the dreamy filling. The combination of chocolate-hazelnut spread and fluffy whipped cream makes for an ultra-creamy, melt-in-your-mouth experience.

If you have a good non-stick skillet or a crepe pan, you’ll get the best results when cooking your crepes.

How To Make These Nutella Cream-Filled Crepes

Making these crepes is easier than you think! Let’s go through it step by step.

Start by preparing the crepe batter. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth. If you have time, let the batter rest for about 15-20 minutes. This helps the gluten relax and results in softer crepes.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, tilting it in a circular motion to spread it thinly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift, then carefully flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat until all the batter is used.

While the crepes are cooling slightly, make the Nutella cream filling. In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold in the Nutella. Be careful not to overmix—you want a light, airy texture.

To assemble, spread a generous spoonful of Nutella cream onto each crepe, then fold or roll them up. You can serve them as is or top them with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or an extra drizzle of Nutella.

These crepes come together in under 30 minutes, making them perfect for a quick yet luxurious treat!

Storage Options

If you have leftovers (which is rare!), you can store the crepes and filling separately.

Place cooked crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To prevent sticking, layer them with parchment paper.

The Nutella cream filling can also be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Give it a quick stir before using.

To reheat, simply warm the crepes in a non-stick pan over low heat for a few seconds on each side. You can also microwave them for about 10-15 seconds, but be careful not to overheat them, as they can dry out.

Variations and Substitutions

The best part about this recipe is how adaptable it is!

For a healthier twist, try using Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream for the filling. It adds a slight tang and extra protein.

Want to switch up the flavors? Try adding a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the crepe batter for extra warmth and depth.

If you’re dairy-free, you can make the crepes with almond milk and coconut oil instead of butter. For the filling, use whipped coconut cream instead of heavy cream.

For extra indulgence, drizzle your crepes with caramel sauce or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

However you make them, these Nutella Cream-Filled Crepes are sure to be a favorite. Give them a try and enjoy every delicious bite!
