Chocolate Pancake Ingredients

You need the usual suspects (milk, butter, eggs, flour) plus cocoa powder. I love adding some deliciously creamy Amarula Vanilla Spice for the grown ups to enjoy! You will need a non-stick frying pan (or a crepe pan) for pancake success!

Milk
Melted butter
Vanilla Extract
Eggs
Sugar
Flour (plain /all purpose)
Cocoa Powder
Hazelnut spread or you can use peanut butter or other nut spreads
Amarula Vanilla Spice (available on Amazon and Drinks Supermarket)
Fresh berries such as strawberries, raspberries etc.

How to Make Chocolate Crepes

↓ For the full ingredients and detailed method, jump to the recipe card.

STEP 1 Add the milk, vanilla, melted butter, sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl and whisk together with a balloon whisk until thoroughly combined.

STEP 2 Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the bowl and whisk them in. Allow the batter to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

STEP 3 Heat your frying pan and wipe with a little butter or oil (or ghee). Pour some batter into the pan and swirl it around so it coats the bottom of the pan. Cook until bubbles form on top and the edges start to brown and curl.

STEP 4 Flip over and cook the other side for about a minute. Put the pancake on a plate lined with kitchen towel. Keep any new crêpes separated by kitchen towel so they don’t stick. Repeat until you use up all the batter, greasing the pan as needed.

STEP 5 Combine the hazelnut spread and Amarula Vanilla Spice and beat together with a hand mixer. Add double cream and whisk until soft peaks form.

STEP 6 Spread some of the filling over the pancakes and add berries (I used strawberries). Fold the pancake into quarters and drizzle with chocolate sauce.

Flipping Genius Pancake Tips

If you have a small milk frother you can combine all the ingredients in a measuring jug and use the frother to beat together.
Strain the batter into a measuring jug to remove any lumps and to make it easier to pour.
The batter benefits from resting for half an hour but you can also make it a day ahead and keep, covered, in the fridge until needed.
Make sure your pan is non-stick and grease with butter /ghee or neutral oil, wiping away any excess before adding the batter.
Use only a small quantity of batter and swirl the pan so it spreads out evenly.
