Ingredients
  

For the Crepes
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 large Egg Yolk
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 tablespoons Butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Red Food Coloring
  • 1 tablespoon Extra Butter (for cooking)
For the Filling
  • 1/2 cup Raspberry Preserves
  • 8 ounces Sweet Cream Cheese Filling made from cream cheese, ricotta, and powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup Nutella (or melted chocolate) for drizzling

Equipment

  • Blender
  • non-stick skillet
  • electric mixer
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a blender, combine the eggs, egg yolk, milk, water, salt, sugar, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and melted butter. Blend on medium speed until the mixture is foamy, about 30 seconds.
  2. Carefully add the flour and cocoa powder to your blended mixture. Pulse until you achieve a smooth batter, ensuring there are no lumps. Let the batter rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the cream cheese, lemon juice, powdered sugar, ricotta, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with extra butter. Pour in about 1 ounce of batter and quickly swirl the pan to spread it evenly. Cook until the surface appears glossy and the edges lift slightly, about 1 minute.
  5. Take each crepe and spread a layer of raspberry preserves down the center. Generously add a dollop of the sweet cream cheese filling. Carefully fold the crepes over the filling before placing them on a serving plate.
  6. Heat Nutella in the microwave for about 15 seconds until it’s warm and pourable. Drizzle it generously over the assembled crepes.

Notes

For best results, serve the assembled crepes immediately after drizzling with Nutella. Allowing the batter to rest helps create tender crepes that won’t tear easily.
