Nutella Crepes Topped With Fresh Berries and Almond Whipped Cream
- 1 recipe crepes
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 pint fresh raspberries
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
- 1 pint fresh blackberries
- 1 recipe whipped cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup sliced almonds
Crepes
- 1 cup milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Place crepe ingredients in blender in the order listed. Blend until it becomes a lovely, thin creamy batter.
Recommended: This batter can be made the night before making crepes and saved in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to cook them.
Turn burner for crepe pan (non-stick crepe pan recommended) to medium heat. Get 1/4 measuring cup ready. Melt & spread about 1/4 teaspoon of butter around the pan with a pastry brush. Pour measured crepe batter into the pan. Quickly lift the pan a bit off of the burner – just enough to swirl the batter in the pan in a circle before it cooks into place. The goal is to fill the pan with the crepe batter.
Crepes should be thin.
The goal for moving the pan into a circle is so that you’ll have a beautifully round crepe.
Allow to cook until the top is done (it will look dull) and the first side is light golden brown, then flip over and cook for a little longer on the second side. Remove cooked crepe from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat and continue stacking crepes on a plate until finished with the batter. This recipe makes about 8 crepes – depending on the size of your crepe pan.
Whipped Cream
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
To make whipped cream, whip heavy cream in a very clean mixing bowl until it has soft peaks. Add powdered sugar and almond and mix again until it has stiff peaks.
