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 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.
