Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)
Cocoa powder (for dusting)
Chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth. Stir in the melted butter, then let the batter rest for about 15 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook another minute. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes on a plate.
Step 3: Whip the heavy cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, brewed coffee, and coffee liqueur if using. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and combined.
Step 4: Lay a crepe on a clean surface and spread a generous layer of tiramisu filling over it. Roll the crepe tightly around the filling. Repeat with all crepes and filling.
Step 5: Slice the crepe rolls into bite-sized pieces. Dust with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

For a caffeine-free version, substitute the brewed coffee with decaffeinated coffee or coffee-flavored syrup.
Use espresso instead of brewed coffee for a stronger coffee flavor.
Chill the assembled crepe rolls for at least an hour to let the flavors meld and make slicing easier.
Add a few drops of dark rum instead of coffee liqueur to vary the flavor profile.

Storage

Store the tiramisu crepe rolls covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes or enjoy them chilled as they maintain their texture and flavor best when cold.

FAQs

Can I make the crepes ahead of time?

Yes, crepes can be made a day in advance. Store them in an airtight container with parchment paper between each crepe to prevent sticking, then keep refrigerated until ready to use.

What can I substitute for mascarpone cheese?

If mascarpone is unavailable, you can use a mixture of cream cheese and heavy cream as a substitute, though the flavor will be slightly different. Blend 8 ounces of cream cheese with 1/4 cup heavy cream until smooth.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crepes:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

For the Tiramisu Filling:

1 cup mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)

For Garnish:

Cocoa powder (for dusting)
Chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth. Stir in the melted unsalted butter thoroughly. Allow the batter to rest for about 15 minutes to let the flour hydrate, ensuring tender crepes.
Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, quickly swirling to cover the bottom evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the underside is lightly golden. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1 minute. Remove and stack the cooked crepes on a plate. Repeat until all batter is used.
Prepare the Tiramisu Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cooled brewed coffee, and coffee liqueur if using. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and well blended, creating a light, creamy filling.
Assemble the Crepe Rolls: Lay a cooked crepe flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the tiramisu filling evenly over the crepe. Beginning at one end, carefully roll the crepe tightly around the filling to form a roll. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the filled crepe rolls into bite-sized pieces. Dust liberally with cocoa powder and optionally sprinkle with chocolate shavings for garnish. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy the rich, creamy flavors of these elegant tiramisu crepe rolls.

Notes

Allowing the crepe batter to rest improves texture by hydrating the flour fully.
Using a non-stick skillet ensures the delicate crepes don’t tear while cooking.
For a boozier filling, include the optional coffee liqueur; omit for a non-alcoholic version.
Chilling the assembled crepe rolls before serving helps them hold their shape when sliced.
These crepe rolls can be prepared a few hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator, covered well.
