These soft homemade crêpes are rolled around a whole Kinder chocolate bar and served warm, so the center melts into a smooth, creamy filling. The base batter stays light and delicate, while a subtle cocoa swirl adds visual contrast and a hint of chocolate flavor.

They’re simple to prepare, but once sliced open, the melted center makes them feel like a special dessert.

Why You’ll Love These Chocolate Swirl Crêpes

• Melted chocolate center: Each crêpe is rolled around a whole Kinder bar that turns soft and creamy when warmed.
• Light, delicate texture: The batter creates thin, flexible crêpes that wrap easily without feeling heavy.
• Simple ingredients: Made from basic pantry staples with one fun addition in the middle.
• Subtle cocoa swirl: The chocolate pattern adds a little extra flavor and a nice visual contrast.
• Best served warm: Fresh from the pan, the inside stays smooth and melty while the outside remains soft.
• Easy but impressive: They look special once sliced open, yet the method stays straightforward.

Ingredients You’ll Need for the Chocolate Swirl Crêpes

• Milk: Creates the liquid base of the batter and keeps the crêpes soft and flexible.
• Eggs: Bind the ingredients together and give structure while maintaining a tender texture.
• All-Purpose Flour: Provides the framework of the crêpes and allows them to hold their shape when rolled.
• Sugar: Adds light sweetness and helps with gentle browning in the pan.
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Flavors the swirl batter and adds a subtle chocolate contrast.
• Kinder Chocolate Bars: Melt inside the warm crêpes, creating a creamy, chocolate-filled center.
• Butter or Oil (for the pan): Prevents sticking and ensures an even, golden surface.

For Making the Chocolate Swirl Crêpes, Here Are the Essential Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing Bowl: For whisking the batter until smooth and lump-free.
• Whisk: Helps combine the ingredients evenly and prevents flour clumps.
• Measuring Cups or Kitchen Scale: Ensures consistent ratios for a balanced, thin batter.
• Small Bowl: Used to mix the cocoa swirl portion separately.
• Non-Stick Skillet or Crêpe Pan: Provides even heat distribution and allows the crêpes to cook thin and evenly.
• Ladle or Measuring Cup: Helps portion the batter evenly into the pan.
• Spatula: For gently flipping the crêpes without tearing.
• Pastry Brush or Paper Towel: Used to lightly grease the pan between batches.
• Plate and Clean Kitchen Towel: For stacking and covering the finished crêpes to keep them soft.

Here is the full Recipe for the Chocolate Swirl Crêpes

Ingredients:

Crêpe Batter

• 2 cups milk (500 ml)
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 g)
• 2 tablespoons sugar (25 g)

Cocoa Batter

• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Filling

• Whole Kinder chocolate bars (one per crêpe)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Batter
   In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until fully combined.
   Add flour and sugar. Whisk until smooth and lump-free. The batter should be thin and pourable, similar to heavy cream. If needed, strain for extra smoothness.
   Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes at room temperature. This relaxes the gluten and results in softer crêpes.
   
2. Make the Cocoa Batter
   Transfer about ½ cup of the prepared batter into a small bowl. Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth. If slightly thicker, add a small splash of milk to keep it fluid.
   
3. Cook the Crêpes
   Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
   Pour a small ladle of plain batter into the pan and swirl to coat the surface in a thin, even layer.
   Drizzle a little cocoa batter over the top in lines or circles.
   Cook for about 1–2 minutes, until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook the other side for about 30–45 seconds.
   Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
   Stack the finished crêpes and cover loosely with a clean towel to keep them soft.
   
4. Fill and Roll with Kinder Chocolate
   Place one whole Kinder chocolate bar across the center of a warm crêpe.
   Fold the sides slightly inward, then roll tightly into a log.
   For best results, place the rolled crêpe seam-side down back into the warm pan for 30–60 seconds, turning once. This gently warms the chocolate and helps it melt evenly inside.
   The crêpe should stay soft while the center becomes smooth and creamy.

Tips for the Perfect Chocolate Swirl Crêpes

• Let the batter rest: Resting improves texture and makes the crêpes more tender and flexible.
• Keep the batter thin: A fluid batter spreads evenly and creates delicate, easy-to-roll crêpes.
• Use medium heat: Too much heat browns the crêpes before they cook through.
• Grease lightly: A thin layer of butter or oil prevents sticking without making them greasy.
• Cook briefly after filling: Warming the rolled crêpes in the pan helps the Kinder chocolate melt evenly.
• Serve immediately: The chocolate center is best when warm and soft.

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

• Batter: Can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Stir before using.
• Cooked Crêpes: Store stacked and covered for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
• Filled Crêpes: Best assembled and served fresh, as the chocolate will firm up once cooled.

Final Notes

This version keeps the classic crêpe structure intact while adding a warm, chocolate-filled center. The cocoa swirl complements the Kinder filling without overpowering it, and the thin crêpes stay flexible enough to roll cleanly around the chocolate bar.

Serve warm, slice open, and enjoy the melted center.
