- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 8 crepes 1x
- Method: Breakfast/Dessert
- Cuisine: French
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Additional butter for cooking
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Fresh oranges or berries for serving
Instructions
- Prepare crepe batter: In a bowl, whisk eggs and milk until combined. In another bowl, mix flour and salt, then add to the egg mixture. Whisk until smooth and lump-free. Stir in melted butter. Set aside.
- Make Nutella mousse: Whip chilled heavy cream to soft peaks. Add softened cream cheese, Nutella, and powdered sugar. Whisk until smooth and lump-free. Do not overwhisk. Cover and chill.
- Cook crepes: Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly butter it. Pour 1/3 cup batter, swirl to form a thin layer. Cook until edges lift, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook 30 seconds more. Repeat for 8 crepes, stacking on a plate.
- Assemble: Spread generous Nutella mousse on half of each crepe. Fold in half, then into a triangle. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh fruit slices.
Notes
Let batter rest 30 minutes for tender crepes. Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mousse. Crepes can be made ahead and refrigerated, then filled before serving. Warm crepes make Nutella mousse spread easily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the crepe batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter up to a day in advance. Store it covered in the refrigerator. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes and give it a quick whisk before cooking your Nutella Cream-Filled Crepes for the best consistency.
What can I use instead of Nutella?
If you need a substitute, any chocolate-hazelnut spread will work. For a different flavor, you can use a thick fruit jam or a simple sweetened mascarpone cheese filling in these cream-filled crepes.
How do I store leftover Nutella Cream-Filled Crepes?
Store assembled crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. The crepes may soften slightly. For best results, store components separately and assemble just before serving.
