How to Make Nutella Cream-Filled Crepes

These crepes are so easy—just mix, cook, fill, and enjoy!

1. Make the Crepe Batter:

In a blender or bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
Gradually add flour and mix until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes to remove air bubbles.

2. Cook the Crepes:

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
Pour ¼ cup batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges lift slightly, then flip and cook another 30 seconds.
Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking crepes with parchment paper in between.

3. Make the Nutella Cream Filling:

In a bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Add Nutella, powdered sugar, and vanilla, then whip until smooth and fluffy.

4. Assemble the Crepes:

Spread 2-3 tbsp of Nutella cream over each crepe.
Fold into quarters or roll them up.

5. Add Toppings & Serve:

Dust with powdered sugar, top with berries, banana slices, or chopped hazelnuts, and drizzle with extra Nutella.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Nutella Cream-Filled Crepes

Rest the batter for a few minutes before cooking—it helps make the crepes tender.
Use a non-stick pan or crepe pan for easy flipping.
Keep crepes warm by stacking them with parchment paper and covering them with foil.
For extra crispy edges, cook the crepes slightly longer on one side.
