Nutella Crepes with Strawberries

The ultimate crepe experience – Nutella Crepes!! Tender crepes slathered with Nutella and stuffed with strawberries, the only problem with these is portion control. Just one more crepe, just one more….

Great crepes are all about getting the batter right. I find that the best and easiest way to make a perfect batter is using a blender. No lumps, no tearing when you flip, with just 10 seconds of whizzing!

It’s a breeze to make crepes if you get the batter right. Too thin, and the crepes tear easily when you flip them. Too thick, then the batter is difficult to swirl around to coat the pan to make thin crepes. The wrong ratio of ingredients, and the crepes come out kind of rubbery (been there, done that…) rather than soft and tender.

The other challenge that people have is making a smooth batter. Because the batter is so thin, even if you sift the flour, it can be quite hard to get the lumps out of the batter using a mixer.

So this is how I make crepes. I originally sourced the recipe from Cook’s Illustrated then over the years, it evolved with little tweaks here and there. Using a blender, it literally takes 10 seconds to make the batter. Watch and see!

This is another recipe made using my Vitamix blender which has literally transformed my life. I’m still pinching myself that Vitamix asked me to develop recipes for them!! A Vitamix has been on my Wish List for ages, but year after year, Santa failed to deliver…..

It’s been wicked fun discovering what a Vitamix can do. Like – did you know you can make breadcrumbs using fresh bread (not toasted) with a Vitamix? Yup! Get those blades whirling, scrunch the bread into a ball then drop it into the Vitamix. And…did you know you can make a béchamel sauce using a Vitamix? Because the blades are so powerful, they actually generate heat so you can make a white sauce that comes out hot and creamy using a Vitamix!!!

Oh! Before I forget – I made these Nutella Crepes with HOMEMADE NUTELLA! Just 5 ingredients – hazelnuts, icing sugar (confectionary sugar), cocoa powder, oil and vanilla. Whizz it up, and this is what you get……

Homemade Nutella - Hazelnuts, cocoa, confectionary sugar, vanilla and oil is all you need to make Nutella at home. Better than store bought! recipetineats.com

Slather onto the crepes, top with strawberries…..

And this is what you get.

Doesn’t it look divine? Just like something you’d get at a bistro. 🙂

The weekend is here!!! I know you’ve been good all week. So you deserve a treat!!! Go on. These Nutella Crepes are calling your name! – Nagi x

Because crepe batter is so thin, it can be hard to make the batter smooth and lump free, even with a mixer. I find the best, easiest and fastest way is to use a blender. The key step is to rest the batter for 1 hour to allow the bubbles to subside - this helps ensure the crepes don't tear when you flip them. I don't have a crepe pan, I just make this in my non stick fry pan. Spread your crepes with Nutella and sliced strawberries for an irresistible breakfast or dessert!

Ingredients

Batter

  • 1 cup / 150 g plain flour (all purpose flour)
  • 1 1/2 cups / 375 ml milk (I use low fat)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp / 40 g unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp white sugar (optional, I find the Nutella makes it sweet enough)
  • Pinch of salt

Crepes

  • 2 tsp unsalted butter
  • Nutella (homemade or store bought)
  • Strawberries , sliced
  • Icing sugar / confectionary sugar , for dusting

Instructions

  • Place Batter ingredients in a blender. Pulse 10 times, or until smooth and lump free (I used my Vitamix - Pulse Button!❤️)
  • Place Batter in fridge for 1 hour (Note 1).
  • Heat a non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add 1/4 tsp butter and melt.
  • Add 1/4 cup batter (Note 2) and quickly swirl to spread. Cook the first side for 1 minute or until there are light golden brown patches. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds.
  • Slide out of the skillet onto a tray / board. Repeat with remaining crepes, overlapping them into the board. (Note 3)
  • Spread Nutella onto crepe - as much as you want! Cover half the crepe with strawberry slices, then fold into half then into quarters. Transfer to plate. Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve with extra strawberries!

Recipe Notes:

1. This allows the bubbles to subside and prevents the crepes from tearing when flipping.
2. The amount of batter required will depend on your skillet size. The flat base of my skillet is 21cm / 8.5", the rim is 26cm / 10.5". For this size skillet, 1/4 cup of batter is the amount I need to evenly cover the base with a thin layer of batter. You want it to be thin but not paper thin (i.e. see through). Refer to the video for visuals.
3. To reheat, stack them onto a plate and microwave for 10 seconds. Do not heat too much otherwise they are prone to tearing. Do not cover with cling wrap because it will sweat and make them tear.
4. The batter can be refrigerated for up to 48 hours.

I was compensated for this recipe, however, if I had not been blown away by my Vitamix Blender, I would have politely declined the offer. Here’s proof how much I love my Vitamix: it has been elevated to the very exclusive status of a permanent position on my kitchen bench. Extremely valuable real estate, reserved for only the very best and most commonly used appliances! – Nagi x

    Thank you once again Nagi. These were delish and super easy. I made them savoury to use up your quick chicken pot pie left overs and they were fabulous. I omitted the sugar and vanilla of course. :-).

    Super delicious 😋
    I substituted gluten free all purpose flour and by mistake, I promise, by mistake I read 1 Tbsp vanilla and after adding the second tsp I read properly – too late.
    That was the best mistake I could have made though and… it was amazing with strawberry jam!

    Ohne Vitamix – das Kaltstellen von 1 Stunde im Kühkschrank dazu geführt, dass die Butter erkaltet. Die Butterklümpchen störten dann natürlich. Ich würde es also auf 10 Minuten kühl stellen begrenzen.

    Ansonsten perfekt und super lecker! 😊

    Hi Nagi,
    Not sure if you will be able to answer my question. When I heat my non-stick pan on med to high heat (say 6 on a 1-9 stove) the batter doesn’t spread out properly. But when I use low heat 3 it takes 5-10 minutes to cook the first side and it doesn’t turn brown on the bottom. Do you have any suggestion? xx

      You might need to pick the pan up and swirl it around to spread it! N x

        I have kept on trying this recipe but not much luck to make perfect crepes. The consistency seems to be too thick for the batter to swirl around evenly. I just realised 1 cup of flour is about 132g in Australian measurement but you have given 150g. If I use 132g instead of 150g, would that help to make the consistency thinner? xx

    Fantastic recipe! I added creamy peanut butter that needed to be used up. The peanut butter went great with the nutella and strawberries. I also added homemade whipped cream. Delicious! Thanks for yet another incredible recipe, Nagi!

    Hey Nagi, This is the first time that I made crepes AND got them right. In the past they used to turn out crispy instead of soft. Thank you for the recipe, I really enjoyed the crepes and now I look forward to making them every week. 🙂

    Hi Nagi 2nd time making this and just can’t get enough. 😋 Was wondering whether I could sub the butter with oil, olive or coconut. Would doing so affect the taste? Thanks

      Hi Helen, you can change it for the cooking (I would use a neutral oil like coconut oil) but not in the batter as it will change the texture. N x

    Hello Nagi, I’m about to try this recipee, there is just one thing I can’t figure out. What is that vanilla extract you are using? I’m not sure we have something similar here that can be commonly obtained. Would it be possible to point me to some vanilla extract products you usualy use as a reference? Thank you.

      Hi Kamil, it’s the vanilla flavouring that’s available in supermarkets: https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/92960/queen-natural-vanilla-extract N x

        Hi Nagi. I found different brand in specialized shop because our supermarkets don’t have such thing. Crepes were super easy to make so I spiced it with your nutella recipe. Both were great. Thank you!

    Hi Nagi,

    This got 3x 10/10 from my kids when I made them this morning.
    We were lucky enough to visit Paris last summer where they enjoyed crepes for this first time – we almost missed our ride to the airport as a result of a last minute crepe or two. They reckon this recipe is up there with the Parisian crepes they loved. It’s definitely a keeper and one that will be enjoyed many times. Thanks for all your wonderful recipes. Xoxo
