Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1.5 cups Canned cherry pie filling
• 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate (shaved or grated)
• 0.5 cups Fresh cherries (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Add the eggs to the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter begins to form. Slowly drizzle in the milk while whisking continuously to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 3

Mix in the melted butter and vanilla extract, and let the batter rest for 15 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.

Step 4

While the batter rests, prepare the whipped cream by beating the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.

Step 6

Pour about 1/4 cup of crepe batter into the pan and quickly swirl it to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly browned.

Step 7

Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer the finished crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking.

Step 8

To assemble the crepes, place one crepe on a clean surface. Spread a dollop of whipped cream across the center and top with a spoonful of cherry pie filling.

Step 9

Fold the crepe into quarters or roll it into a cylinder, then transfer to a serving plate.

Step 10

Garnish the finished crepes with a drizzle of cherry filling, a sprinkle of grated dark chocolate, and fresh cherries, if desired. Repeat with the remaining crepes.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy this Black Forest-inspired dessert!
