Ingredients

  • 250 g All-purpose flour (Sift to avoid lumps)
  • 3 units Eggs (Separate 2 whites for the mousse, the rest for the batter)
  • 500 ml Whole milk (Room temperature)
  • 30 g Melted butter (Let warm)
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar (About 15 g)
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 200 ml Ready-made pastry cream (Stored in the fridge)
  • 2 units Egg whites (Should be at room temperature)
  • 1 pinch Cream of tartar (Helps stabilize the whipped whites)
  • 50 g Hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
  • 30 g Mandarin‑peach jam
  • 30 g Orange jam
  • 30 g Pear‑caramel jam
  • 30 g Apricot‑mango‑peach‑passion jam (love heart)
  • 20 g Salted butter (Cut into small dice)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crepe batter

    In a large bowl, pour the flour, sugar and salt. Make a well, add the 3 whole eggs, the milk and the melted butter. Mix with a whisk until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous batter.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Rest the batter

    Cover the bowl with plastic film or a clean kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

    Time: PT30M

  3. Whip the egg whites

    Separate the two egg whites from the eggs used for the batter. In a clean bowl, add a pinch of cream of tartar then beat the whites at medium speed until they form firm peaks.

    Time: PT5M

  4. Fold the whites into the pastry cream

    Pour the pastry cream into another bowl. Gently fold the whipped egg whites using a spatula, lifting the mixture to avoid breaking them.

    Time: PT2M

  5. Heat the pan

    Place the non‑stick pan over medium heat and let heat for about 2 minutes until it reaches about 180 °C.

    Time: PT2M

    Temperature: 180°C

  6. Cook the crepes

    Pour a small ladle (≈60 ml) of batter into the hot pan, swirl to spread. Cook 1 minute until the edges detach, flip and cook an additional 30 seconds. Repeat until the batter is exhausted (about 8 crepes).

    Time: PT16M

    Temperature: 180°C

  7. Assemble the soufflé crepes

    On each hot crepe, place a tablespoon of the soufflé pastry cream mixture on one side, add a drizzle of hazelnut spread or a small spoonful of jam of choice, then fold the crepe in half and press lightly.

    Time: PT5M

  8. Enjoy

    Place the crepes on a plate, let guests enjoy them hot.

    Time: PT0M
