For this recipe you can use store-bought Nutella or making it on your own. Jazz up your Nutella crepes by adding your favorite fillings. Add fresh fruit like bananas, strawberries, berries, tangerine slices, or peaches, sprinkle in some chopped nuts, a dollop of peanut butter (or any other nut butter), or whipped cream. For extra-rich, decadent crepes, use heavy cream instead of milk. How to Store Chocolate-Hazelnut Crepes For cooked crepes, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy them within 2 days. You can store them fully assembled or without the Nutella, depending on your preference. Can You Freeze Nutella Crepes? Either filled or unfilled crepes can be frozen. If you're freezing the crepes unfilled, be sure to place a layer of parchment paper between them. Frozen crepes will last up to 2 months. Thaw them overnight in the fridge. Ingredients MILK 1 3/4 cups FLOUR 1 1/4 cups EGGS 3 UNSALTED BUTTER, MELTED 3 tbsp SALT a pinch NUTELLA POWDERED SUGAR, FOR DUSTING How to make Nutella Crepes In a large bowl or a blender, whisk milk and eggs. Add melted butter, sifted flour and salt. Combine well until there are no lumps. If you are using a blender, pulse until smooth. Cover the batter with a cling film and let it rest for 30 minutes in the fridge. While you can skip letting the batter rest, allowing it to sit for 10 to 30 minutes will vastly improve your crepes. When time has passed, remove the bowl from the fridge. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and spread 1/4 teaspoon of butter on the pan surface. Pour in a ladle of the batter into the heated pan. Make sure to cover the surface of the pan and spread it evenly by rotating the pan Let it cook over medium-low heat until the edges of the crepe start to crimp and tear away on their own. At this point, flip the cr̻pe over by using a spatula. Cook the other side for a minute or until golden brown. Check the crepe by lifting it from the edge with the spatula. If it is well colored, it is done. Repeat until the batter runs out. As you progress, stack the crepes so that they remain moist and soft. Remember to butter the pan when making new crepes.
