Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) whole milk (or oat/almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tbsp (13g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 tbsp (12g) sugar or honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 3 oz (85g) semi-sweet chocolate
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 tsp butter (optional, for shine)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl or blender, combine flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk or blend until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
  2. In a bowl, toss sliced strawberries and blueberries with sugar (or honey) and lemon juice. Set aside to macerate.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt chocolate with heavy cream and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and keep warm. If sauce thickens, add a splash of cream.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the center, tilting the pan to spread evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is golden. Flip and cook for 30-60 seconds more. Transfer to a plate and cover with a towel. Repeat with remaining batter.
  5. Spread a spoonful of berry mixture in the center of each crepe and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Fold into a triangle or roll up gently. Place seam-side down on the serving plate.
  6. Dust with powdered sugar, top with extra berries and mint if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes for tender crepes. The first crepe is usually a test—adjust batter thickness or pan heat as needed. For gluten-free or vegan versions, use appropriate flour and milk substitutes. Crepes can be made ahead and kept warm in a low oven. Chocolate sauce can be reheated with a splash of cream if it thickens.
