Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1.25 cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 cups coffee ice cream
- 4 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for chocolate sauce)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, espresso powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
While the batter rests, prepare the dark chocolate sauce by melting the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth.
Once melted, add the heavy cream and butter to the chocolate, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter onto the hot pan, swirling the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To assemble, fold the crepes into quarters or roll them loosely. Place them on serving plates and top each serving with a scoop of coffee ice cream.
Drizzle the dark chocolate sauce generously over the crepes and ice cream. Garnish with powdered sugar if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Espresso Crepes with Coffee Ice Cream and Dark Chocolate Sauce!
