Ingredients

For the Crêpes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

For the Tiramisu Filling:

• 8 oz mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup brewed espresso (cooled)
• 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)

For Garnish:

• Cocoa powder (for dusting)
• Chocolate shavings (optional)
• Fresh berries (optional)

Timing

Making Tiramisu Stuffed Crêpes takes about 20 minutes for preparation and 30 minutes for cooking.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crêpe Batter

1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes.

Step 2: Cook the Crêpes

1. Heat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
2. Cook Crêpes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crêpes on a plate.

Step 3: Prepare the Tiramisu Filling

1. Whip Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
2. Combine Filling: In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cooled espresso, and coffee liqueur (if using) until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Crêpes

1. Fill Crêpes: Take a crêpe and place a generous spoonful of the tiramisu filling in the center. Fold the crêpe over the filling, and then fold again to create a triangle or simply roll it up.
2. Repeat: Continue with the remaining crêpes and filling.

Step 5: Serve

1. Dust with Cocoa: Place the stuffed crêpes on a serving plate and dust with cocoa powder. Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings and fresh berries.
2. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Tiramisu Stuffed Crêpes!
