FAQs
How long does it take to prepare the batter for a chocolate crepe recipe? 
All in all, it takes about 30 minutes to prepare and cook the easy chocolate crepe recipe. However, it might not be easy to make just the perfect crepes on the first try, you’d need patience and consistent effort to master making the thinnest and crispest crepes ever. With a non-stick pan, the right utensils and the correct consistency of the batter, more than half of the problem gets solved.
Is there a difference between crepes and pancakes?
Yes, crepes are a variety of pancakes that are thin and crispy. Traditional pancakes are thick and fluffy and made from flour, milk, eggs and leavening agents like baking powder and baking soda. The ingredients in chocolate crepe recipe, on the other hand, are similar but without the leavening agents, as they are made thin and crispy. The batter of pancakes and crepes also differ in consistency where the former uses thick batter and the latter uses batter with runny consistency. Both can be served with similar toppings and fillings.
Can I use cocoa powder in a chocolate crepe recipe?
Yes, adding cocoa powder is much easier to blend than melted chocolate. Cocoa powder mixes quickly with the batter and with the mild chocolate taste along with added sweetener, it helps other flavours shine. When you want to include more flavours like vanilla and spices like nutmeg and cinnamon in the chocolate crepe, you should use cocoa powder instead of solid chocolate bars.
Is it necessary to add sugar to the chocolate crepe batter?
Sugar brings an enhanced sweet flavour that helps in countering the bitterness of chocolate. If you are using chocolate with added sweet flavour, you can skip adding sugar to the batter as per your taste. If you want to taste the wholeness of chocolate in your crepes, then you can choose to add a sugar substitute with a mildly sweet flavour or even skip adding sugar in the batter and instead use sweet fillings and toppings for the crepes.
What kind of milk should I use for the chocolate crepe batter?
Since crepes are made with thin and runny batter, it is beneficial to use whole milk, 2% skim milk or milk substitutes like almond and coconut milk. Using full-fat milk or cream milk can enhance the thickness and richness of the batter which may affect the texture of the crepes and your crepes might turn out soggy and soft. Using thin milk also rules out the need to add water to make the batter runny.
