Ingredients
Scale
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups milk
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Brownie Filling:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp baking powder
For the Chocolate Drizzle:
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp heavy cream
For the Assembly:
- Vanilla ice cream
- Fresh berries (optional)
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Crepe Batter: In a blender, combine flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt. Blend until smooth and let the batter rest for 30 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate and the batter to relax.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the surface evenly. Cook each crepe for 1–2 minutes on each side until lightly golden. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate.
- Prepare the Brownie Batter: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish. Melt the butter and mix it with sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well. In a separate bowl, combine cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared dish and bake for 20–25 minutes until set but still fudgy. Allow to cool completely, then crumble the brownies into small pieces for the filling.
- Make the Chocolate Drizzle: Melt the dark chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second increments in the microwave, stirring in between to ensure smoothness. Stir in the heavy cream until the sauce is silky and pourable.
- Assemble the Crepes: Spread a line of crumbled brownie filling along the center of each crepe and fold or roll them up securely.
- Serve: Place the filled crepes on plates and top each with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle generously with warm chocolate sauce. Garnish with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
Notes
- Resting the crepe batter improves texture and prevents tearing during cooking.
- For even crepes, use a non-stick skillet and moderate heat.
- Brownie texture should be fudgy, not overbaked, for best crumble consistency.
- Chocolate drizzle can be warmed gently if it thickens before serving.
- Fresh berries add a pop of color and tartness that balances the sweetness.
