How to Make Black Forest Crepes
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking constantly until a smooth batter forms. For a smoother batter, use an immersion blender.
- Cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 hours).
- Remove batter from the refrigerator and stir gently. If needed, thin the batter with a tablespoon or two of milk, or thicken with a teaspoon of flour.
- Heat a lightly oiled 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Melt 1/2 teaspoon of butter in the hot skillet.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and quickly tilt to spread it evenly into an 8-inch circle.
- Cook for 30-60 seconds per side, or until lightly browned and set. Flip carefully when the edges begin to lift and the top appears dry.
- Repeat steps 7-9 until all batter is used, adding 1/2 teaspoon of butter to the skillet before each crepe.
- Stack finished crepes with waxed paper between each to prevent sticking. You can refrigerate or freeze them for later use.
- To serve, spread 2-3 tablespoons of cherry pie filling across the center of each crepe.
- Roll each crepe tightly or fold it into quarters.
- Place 2 filled crepes on each serving plate.
- Garnish with your choice of sweetened whipped cream, chocolate syrup, cherry syrup, chocolate curls, and/or mint sprigs.
