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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
