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)
- Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in the melted unsalted butter. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate fully, ensuring tender crepes.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe and cook for another minute. Stack the cooked crepes on a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Prepare the Tiramisu Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, combine 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 well combined, creating a light yet creamy filling.
- Assemble the Crepe Rolls: Lay a crepe flat on a clean surface and spread a generous layer of the tiramisu filling evenly over the surface. Starting from one end, roll the crepe tightly around the filling. Repeat this process with the remaining crepes and filling to make multiple rolls.
- Serve: Slice the crepe rolls into bite-sized pieces. Dust generously with cocoa powder and garnish with optional chocolate shavings. Serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Letting the crepe batter rest allows the flour to fully hydrate, resulting in more tender crepes.
- Use strong brewed coffee or espresso for a more authentic tiramisu flavor.
- The coffee liqueur is optional; you can omit it for a non-alcoholic version.
- Cook crepes on medium heat to avoid browning too quickly and ensure even cooking.
- Refrigerate assembled crepe rolls if you prefer them chilled before serving.
- To make ahead, prepare crepes and filling separately and assemble just before serving for maximum freshness.
