Ingredients

Crepes

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Dash of vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • Red food coloring
  • Extra butter for cooking

Filling & Toppings

  • Raspberry preserves
  • Sweet Cream Cheese Filling see below
  • Nutella or melted chocolate

Sweet Cream Cheese Filling

  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons strong coffee
  • 1 teaspoon rum optional

Instructions

  • In a blender, combine eggs, egg yolk, milk, water, salt, sugar, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and melted butter. Pulse until foamy.
  • Add flour and cocoa powder. Blend until smooth. Let batter rest for 1 hour.
  • Prepare the sweet cream cheese filling by mixing all filling ingredients with a mixer until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
  • Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly butter the surface.
  • Pour about 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan, swirling to spread evenly.
  • Cook until the top loses its glossy appearance (about 1 minute). Flip and cook for about 15 seconds more.
  • Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
  • To assemble, spread a 1-inch wide strip of raspberry preserves down the center of each crepe.
  • Top with sweet cream cheese filling.
  • Fold both sides over the filling and place on a serving plate.
  • Microwave Nutella for about 30 seconds until smooth and drizzle over crepes before serving.

Notes

  • Let Batter Rest: Ensures tender crepes.
  • Use a Non-Stick Pan: Prevents tearing.
  • Adjust Food Coloring: For deeper red color.
  • Don’t Overcook: Crepes cook quickly.
  • Serve Fresh: Best enjoyed shortly after assembling.
