Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for pan)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon raspberry puree or berry jam (optional for swirl)
- 1/2 cup blackberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush with melted butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
- Cook until edges lift and bottom is golden, then flip and cook for another 20 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Let crêpes cool slightly, then press into inverted muffin tins or small bowls to form cup shapes. Let them set for 5–10 minutes.
- In a chilled bowl, whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gently fold in raspberry puree for a swirl if using.
- Carefully fill each crêpe cup with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Top with fresh blackberries, raspberries, and garnish with mint leaves.
- Serve immediately or chill for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Let crêpe batter rest to ensure a smooth, tender texture.
- Use inverted muffin tins for uniform crêpe cup shapes.
- Whipped cream can be flavored with citrus zest or liqueur for variation.
- Best served fresh but can be chilled briefly before serving.
