How to Make Chocolate Cherry Crepes
- **Prep your station:** Gather an 8-inch crepe pan or non-stick skillet with a saucepan lid, a small saucepan, a medium bowl, a plastic spatula, and wax paper.
- **Make the crepe batter:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- **Add the milk:** Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups milk until the batter is completely smooth.
- **Chill the batter:** Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in more tender crepes.
- **Preheat your pan:** Preheat your crepe pan or skillet over medium heat. Test the heat by sprinkling a few drops of water onto the surface; they should sizzle immediately.
- **Cook the crepes:** Lightly spray the pan with cooking spray before each crepe. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface and immediately swirl the pan to evenly distribute the batter.
- **Cook and flip:** Cover the pan and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the center is set. Carefully loosen the edges with a spatula and gently flip the crepe. Cook for another 30 seconds on the other side.
- **Stack and cool:** Slide the cooked crepe onto a piece of wax paper. Repeat with the remaining batter. Crepes are fragile when warm; allow to cool slightly before filling.
- **Prepare the filling:** In a small saucepan, melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and melted (about 5 minutes). Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can cherry pie filling and keep warm.
- **Assemble the crepes:** Spread a spoonful of the warm chocolate cherry filling onto the center of each crepe. Fold two opposite sides of the crepe inward, then fold the bottom edge up over the filling.
- **Arrange and serve:** Arrange the filled crepes in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with extra chocolate syrup and serve immediately or chill for later.
