Ingredients:
For the crepes:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/2 cup water
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons melted butter
– Nutella for spreading
For the topping:
– 1 cup pitted cherries
– 1/2 cup chopped whole almonds
– Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water and continue to whisk until the batter is smooth. Add the salt and melted butter and whisk to combine.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Use a ladle to pour some batter into the pan and swirl it around to spread out the batter evenly. Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to curl and the bottom is lightly browned.
3. Use a spatula to flip the crepe and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter until all the crepes are cooked.
4. To assemble the crepes, spread a layer of Nutella onto each crepe and top with some pitted cherries and chopped whole almonds. Fold the crepe in half and then in half again to form a triangle shape. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Tips:
– If you don’t have fresh cherries, you can use canned or frozen cherries instead. Just make sure to drain any excess liquid before using them.
– You can also use other types of nuts such as hazelnuts, pistachios, or pecans if you prefer.
– To make the crepes ahead of time, you can stack them on a plate with pieces of parchment paper in between and cover with plastic wrap. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, just microwave for about 10-15 seconds or until warm.
In conclusion, Nutella crepes with pitted cherries and whole almonds is a decadent and tasty dessert that is sure to impress your guests.
