Ingredients:
Yield: 4-6 servings
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups assorted ice cream flavors (e.g., vanilla, chocolate, strawberry)
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
1/4 cup crushed nuts (optional)
Fresh fruits (e.g., sliced strawberries, bananas, or berries)
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Add the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Step 3
Preheat a non-stick crepe pan or regular non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
Step 4
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the pan, tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin, round layer.
Step 5
Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for 1 minute.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes with a piece of parchment paper between them to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Take one crepe and place a scoop of each ice cream flavor in the center.
Step 8
Drizzle with chocolate syrup and sprinkle with crushed nuts, if using.
Step 9
Add a small handful of fresh fruits of your choice.
Step 10
Fold the sides of the crepe over the filling, then roll it up like a burrito.
Step 11
Repeat with the remaining crepes and fillings.
Step 12
Lightly dust with powdered sugar before serving immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of warm crepe and cold ice cream.
