Tiramisu Crepe Rolls Recipe

Introduction

Tiramisu Crepe Rolls are a delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert. Thin, tender crepes are filled with a creamy mascarpone and coffee-infused filling, then rolled and sliced into bite-sized pieces. This elegant yet simple treat is perfect for a special occasion or an indulgent everyday dessert.

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

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in the melted butter. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
2. Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to cover the bottom evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is lightly golden, then flip and cook for another minute. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes on a plate.
3. Step 3: Whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. In another bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cooled coffee, and coffee liqueur if using. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth.
4. 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 remaining crepes and filling.
5. 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 non-alcoholic version, omit the coffee liqueur and use extra brewed coffee or espresso instead.
• Make sure to rest the crepe batter to ensure tender, flexible crepes that roll easily without cracking.
• Use freshly brewed espresso for a more intense coffee flavor in the filling.
• Try adding a sprinkle of grated dark chocolate inside each crepe before rolling for a richer texture.

Storage

Store the assembled tiramisu crepe rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed chilled. To serve after storage, allow them to sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes for the best texture. Avoid freezing, as it can affect the creamy filling and crepe texture.

FAQs

Can I make the crepes ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the crepes a day in advance. Store them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator to prevent drying out.

What can I substitute for mascarpone cheese?

If mascarpone is unavailable, you can use a mixture of cream cheese and heavy cream, whipped together until smooth, as a substitute in the filling.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

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 you achieve a smooth batter. Then stir in the melted unsalted butter. Allow the batter to rest for about 15 minutes to let the flour fully hydrate, which helps create 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 about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl it evenly to cover the bottom. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the base is lightly golden. Flip carefully and cook the other side for about 1 minute. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, stacking cooked crepes on a plate.
3. Prepare the Tiramisu Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cooled strong brewed coffee, and coffee liqueur (if using). Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated and smooth, creating a luscious tiramisu cream.
4. Assemble the Crepe Rolls: Lay a crepe flat on a clean surface and spread a generous layer of tiramisu filling over the entire surface. Carefully roll the crepe tightly starting from one edge to form a log. Repeat this with the remaining crepes and filling until all are rolled.
5. Serve: Slice each tiramisu crepe roll into bite-sized pieces for easy serving. Dust them generously with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature to enjoy the perfect blend of coffee and creamy flavors.

Notes

• Letting the crepe batter rest is essential for tender crepes, so don’t skip this step.
• You can omit the coffee liqueur for a non-alcoholic version without compromising flavor.
• The crepes can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
• Assemble the rolls just before serving for best texture and freshness.
• Use freshly brewed strong coffee to enhance the tiramisu flavor in the filling.
