Assemble the Crêpes
- Lay a warm or cooled chocolate crêpe flat on a serving plate.
- Scoop 1–2 scoops of your favourite ice cream into the centre. Work quickly if the crêpes are warm to prevent melting.
- Fold the crêpe over the filling in quarters or roll it like a wrap, enclosing the ice cream. For a neater presentation, you can tuck in the sides before rolling.
- Drizzle generously with chocolate sauce or warm hot fudge. Add a swirl of whipped cream, and if desired, top with fresh berries, sliced banana, or chopped nuts for added texture and colour.
- Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar to add a touch of elegance and contrast. Serve immediately while the crêpe is soft and the ice cream remains chilled.
Variations & Tips
- Mint chocolate lovers: Use mint ice cream and dark chocolate drizzle for a refreshing twist.
- Texture bonus: Add crushed cookies, caramel drizzle, or a thin layer of Nutella inside the crêpe before adding ice cream.
- Make ahead: Cook and stack crêpes in advance. Store cooled crêpes in the fridge for up to 2 days, covered, or freeze with parchment between each layer.
- Reheat tip: Warm crêpes in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds before filling.
This indulgent dessert combines warm, tender chocolate crêpes with cool, creamy ice cream and luscious toppings—a versatile and crowd-pleasing treat perfect for special occasions or sweet cravings any day of the week.
