Ingredients

Scale

Crepe Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Cookies and Cream Filling

  • 1 cup whipped cream or softened cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed cookies (classic sandwich cookies like chocolate and cream)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the eggs, then slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and runny. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the flour to fully absorb the liquids, ensuring tender crepes.
  2. Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling gently to spread into a thin, even layer. Cook each side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and set. Carefully flip and cook the other side. Remove crepe to a plate and repeat until all batter is used.
  3. Make the Cookies and Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine whipped cream or softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the crushed cookies, leaving some larger chunks for added crunch and texture.
  4. Assemble the Crepes: Spread a generous spoonful of the cookies and cream filling over each crepe, then fold or roll gently. Arrange on a serving plate and optionally dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce for a beautiful finish.

Notes

  • Batter Consistency: Aim for a thin, pourable batter similar to heavy cream for perfect crepes.
  • Resting Time: Allow batter to rest for enhanced tenderness and reduced tearing.
  • Even Cooking: Use moderate heat and a non-stick pan to avoid burning or sticking.
  • Cookie Size: Crush cookies into small pieces but keep some larger chunks for crunch.
  • Serve Fresh: Best enjoyed fresh; store leftovers properly to maintain flavor and texture.
