A delicious and easy-to-make dessert, Nutella crêpes are loved by children and not only. Making crêpes might seem complicated, but it is not. All you need is a small flat-bottomed pan, some patience, and skill, and you have the base for a thousand sweet or savory preparations ready. I always make a double batch so that, besides preparing dessert, I also make lunch or dinner by filling them with a savory filling. If you want a less caloric dessert, you can fill them with jam, ricotta with powdered sugar, or even fresh fruit quickly sautéed with brown sugar. Bringing sweet crêpes to the table is always a joy, but Nutella crêpes, thanks to the super delicious filling, are even more so. Let’s accompany them with a dollop of whipped cream if we want to make them truly unique.

Preparation of the Batter
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the salt and cinnamon. Add the milk, melted butter, and flour, and work the mixture with an immersion blender or a whisk to obtain a smooth and homogeneous batter. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
In a lightly greased flat-bottomed non-stick pan, pour small amounts of the mixture. Swirl the pan to ensure the mixture covers the entire bottom. Cook for a couple of minutes on each side and set aside. Continue until the batter is used up.
Warm the Nutella in a bain-marie to make it softer. Fold each crêpe in half, forming a half-moon. Spread each crêpe with the slightly softened Nutella from the bain-marie and roll up to form a cannolo. Serve decorated with more Nutella and hazelnut crumbs, adding a crunchy note.
Storage
You can store the crêpes in the fridge well-covered with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out. Fill them just before serving.
