Hi Bold Bakers!

If you’re like me, you wake up with a sweet tooth. Instead of waiting all day for dessert, I say start the day off right with this sweet Easy Chocolate Crepe Recipe!

As an ambassador for GoodCook, I especially like it when one of their products fits my needs exactly. Crepes are the most lovely thin pancakes that can be filled with sweet or savory filling, or enjoyed all on their own with a bit of powdered sugar and lemon. That said, these crepes made possible by my favorite GoodCook 11 Inch Griddle and Creperie. Instead of needing any kind of filling or topping, these easy crepes are made with chocolate from within.

While making crepes can seem daunting, this recipe will not only give you the tips you need to make the tastiest chocolate crepes, but how to use the right tools to get the job done.

What is the Difference Between a Pancake and a Crepe?

For those of you that have never made a crepe, you might be wondering what the difference is between a pancake and a crepe. Well, while pancakes are also made in a similar way, they are much thicker, fluffier, and not as rich. The crepe batter itself is super rich and delicate, not just because of the cocoa powder in the batter, but also the butter and milk. Additionally, crepes have no raising agent which makes them thin and flat as opposed to cakey and fluffy.

Stopping crepes from sticking to the pan

If you have attempted to make crepes before and had difficulty with crepes breaking and sticking to the pan, you are not alone! The trick to making crepes that don’t stick is not only built into my easy crepe recipe but in the pan I use.

I make my crepes in the GoodCook 11 Inch Griddle and Creperie. This pan is super thin, heats evenly and is nonstick. In addition, it’s a lovely square shape — making your finished crepes the perfect shape for folding into perfect triangles. You don’t need to be a professional chef to make these chocolate crepes, you just need the right tools!

The other tool to keep crepes from sticking is what you’re using to flip them. Cooking the crepes on one side is foolproof in my non-stick creperie, but when it comes to flipping them over I use the GoodCook large Nylon Flex Turner. This super thin bendy spatula gets right under the crepe, flipping it over with a simple flick of the wrist.

Are Crepes Only For Breakfast?

While crepes are typically a breakfast food, this delicate chocolate crepe makes a show-stopping dessert.

What I love about these is how quick and easy the batter is to make and cook-off. From there I get creative with toppings, maybe add some sliced strawberries and chocolate sauce. This really takes the crepes into desert land, but to be honest I would eat these for breakfast — or any time of day.
