Ingredients
Crepes
- 16 sweet crepes
Filling
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
Topping
- Powdered sugar (optional), for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Crepes: Have your sweet crepes ready to go. They can be warm or cooled to room temperature, but avoid using cold crepes as they may be less pliable and harder to fold.
- Spread Nutella: Evenly distribute approximately one tablespoon of Nutella onto each crepe. Use the back of a spoon or a knife to gently spread the Nutella across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Add Strawberries: Remove the stems from fresh strawberries and slice them thinly. Place the sliced strawberries in a single layer over the Nutella on each crepe to ensure an even distribution of sweetness and freshness.
- Fold Crepes: Fold each crepe in half, then fold it in half again in the opposite direction to create a neat triangle shape. This folding technique helps keep the filling secure and makes for an elegant presentation.
- Optional Garnish and Serve: If desired, lightly dust the folded crepes with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Crepes can be made ahead of time and stored wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator; warm slightly before assembling.
- Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor and texture contrast.
- Powdered sugar is optional but adds a lovely finishing touch.
- You can substitute Nutella with any chocolate hazelnut spread or even peanut butter for variation.
- For large gatherings, assemble crepes just before serving to prevent sogginess.
