Strawberry Cheesecake Chocolate Crepes

Homemade Crepes made with strawberry cheesecake filling are perfect for any occasion. These chocolate crepes are easy to make with a crepe pan or an 8-10″ omelet pan. Your entire family will enjoy this mouthwatering breakfast, and you won’t believe just how easy it is to make this chocolate crepes recipe.

The weather here in Colorado has been absolutely GORGEOUS, and asparagus, peas, and strawberries are bombarding the produce shelves of our local market. I knew I had to highlight strawberries in a crepe recipe, so these strawberry cheesecake chocolate crepes were the first thing to come to mind!

Do you guys do brunch often? My better half and I do brunch ALL the time, but we very rarely go out for brunch. I like the kind of brunch where I can put my creative juices to the test, all while lounging around in my PJs and make an entire indulgent spread to welcome in the weekend. Frittatas are almost always on the menu. Throw in some bacon, scones, and fresh fruit; and we are stuffed until dinnertime. My latest obsession is crepes though, but I’ll get into that in a minute. 😉

Strawberry Cheesecake Chocolate Crepes

I want to talk about this strawberry cheesecake filling for just a second. Strawberries are INCREDIBLE right now. They literally taste like spring and are so juicy, sweet and plump. I honestly don’t think there is a combination of flavors more delicious than strawberries and chocolate. Strawberry ice cream with chocolate fudge is one of my favorite sweets of all time. Throw some cheesecake into the mix? My, oh my. I still can’t get over it.

I have always been super nervous about making crepes. This is totally unfair to the crepe since I never actually tried to make one. That will teach me to not jump to conclusions. Crepes are super easy, especially when they are made in a blender or food processor. I think the words “making crepes” has a way of making you think it’s much harder than it is. It’s a very prestigious name for a glorified and flat pancake. As soon as I stopped judging and jumped on the crepe bandwagon, I was in for life.

You will definitely impress your guests if you make these strawberry cheesecake chocolate crepes at your next brunch. Recipe for these addicting little cuties is below!

How to Make Easy Chocolate Crepe Batter

A food processor or blender will make these crepes easy. Make sure you have all of your ingredients measured and ready because these crepes come together fast.

• In the bowl of your food processor, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt and eggs.
• Process until the three ingredients come together.

How to Make Homemade Chocolate Crepes

TIP: To keep the crepes from sticking to the pan, make sure you spray the pan with non-stick spray before pouring the batter for each crepe.

1. Heat a crepe pan or small 8 – 10″ omelet pan over medium heat.
2. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter directly into the middle of the pan and swirl to coat the bottom.
3. Cook the crepe for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is light brown and the edges are completely set.
4. Flip the crepe over and cook for an additional minute.
5. Transfer to a serving platter and repeat for the rest of the batter.

Fill each crepe with the strawberry cheesecake filling and garnish with fresh strawberries and sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar. Enjoy!
