Description

Elegant golden crêpes shaped into edible cups, filled with a swirl of whipped cream and topped with fresh blackberries, raspberries, and mint—perfect for brunches or light summer desserts.


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

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush with melted butter.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
  6. Cook until edges lift and bottom is golden, then flip and cook for another 20 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter.
  7. Let crêpes cool slightly, then press into inverted muffin tins or small bowls to form cup shapes. Let them set for 5–10 minutes.
  8. 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.
  9. Carefully fill each crêpe cup with a dollop of whipped cream.
  10. Top with fresh blackberries, raspberries, and garnish with mint leaves.
  11. 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.
