Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons butter, for cooking the crepes
1 ¾ cups heavy whipping cream
¼ cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
¾ cup finely chopped dark chocolate
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Make the crepe batter: Add flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee powder, sugar, and salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs.
Add vanilla extract, milk, and ½ cup cold water to the eggs and whisk well to combine.
Pour the egg mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, whisking well to create a smooth batter.
Transfer the batter to the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the coffee cream: Add whipping cream, confectioners' sugar, and instant coffee powder to a large bowl.
Whisk for 1-2 minutes, until soft peaks form.
Transfer coffee cream to the fridge until ready to serve.
Make the chocolate sauce: Add dark chocolate pieces to a heatproof bowl.
Place the cream into a small dish and microwave in 15-second intervals, until hot but not boiling.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate, and add the vanilla extract.
Mix with a fork until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Set aside.
To cook the crepes, add a little bit of the butter to a crepe pan (or a wide, shallow frying pan) and place over medium-high heat.
Once the butter begins to sizzle, add roughly ¼ cup batter to the pan and quickly roll it around so it coats the surface.
Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, then flip with a spatula.
Cook the other side for another 30-60 seconds.
Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Cover one half of each crepe with a dollop of coffee cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce, then fold the crepes over.
Drizzle on more chocolate sauce and serve right away.
