Expert Baking Tips - Crepe recipe basic
- Although these crepe au chocolat are super simple to make, here are just a few expert tips I'd recommend:
- Make sure your dry ingredients are fully mixed in before pouring in the wet ingredients to prevent any lumps from forming.
- For the chocolate drip, you can either use a runny chocolate spread or make a ganache. By combining equal parts chocolate and plant based milk, double cream or coconut cream.

Ingredients for the best vegan crepes
Here's everything I used to make these eggless - crepe cake nutella
And substitutes
- Vegan butter- You can use either vegan block butter or margarine or oil to grease your pan to prevent your crepes from sticking.
- Plant-based milk - This can be oat, soya or almond milk
- Sugar - Caster or refined granulated sugar works best here.
- Plain flour - If you're not following a gluten free diet you may use normal plain flour instead
- Plant-based Yogurt - This is our egg substitute. NOTE if you can't get your hands on any, pureed banana or apple (40g) will also work well here.

Pancake recipe crepe - Step by step instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa. If the cocoa has any lumps be sure to break them up or sift them out.
- Add the sugar, oil, and soy milk. Whisk vigorously until the crepe batter forms, with no lumps.
- Warm a non-stick crepe pan or non-stick pancake griddle under medium/high heat. Rub a flavourless oil onto the pan using a piece of absorbent paper.
- Scoop the batter onto the pan, then tip and rotate it to spread the batter as thinly as possible. Cook the crepes, flip and cook on the opposite side for 1-2mins. you’ll need about 15 to 20 for the cake.
- Once all batter has been cooked set aside and make the filling. Do this by whipping the double cream until light peaks then mix in the crunchy hazelnut spread.
- To make the ganache heat the plant based cream and chocolate in the microwave for 30sec intervals until smooth.
- Next spread the cream evenly across the whole crepe and drizzle with the ganache. Layer on the second and spread the filling and so on, until the last crepe. For the last layer spread the chocolate hazelnut spread on the top.
- Finally sprinkle the edge of the crepe cake with hazelnuts to create a border. Then slice and enjoy!
Flavour Variations and Mixins - How to make chocolate crepe cake
If you'd prefer to make these crepes slightly more adventurous. Instead of chocolate crepes you can make these into chocolate caramel crepes, by layering caramel in between the crepe layers instead of ganache.
Tiramisu Crepe Cake
Another great flavor is my tiramisu crepe cake! This cake is de-licious, it’s made up of coffee infused thin crepes layered upon vegan mascarpone cream and dusted with cocoa. Check out the full recipe here.
If perhaps you’d prefer to try my vegan pancakes, then you have to check out my cinnamon roll pancakes. Or my hot chocolate pancakes, these are the perfect cozy pancakes to enjoy this winter. Sweet, cinnamon swirl pancakes are the combination of a classic cinnamon roll and a classic fluffy pancake. Perfection.
For a less adventurous, plain pancakes, simply remove any additions to the batter - following the same recipe. And with your plain pancakes you can add whatever topping and syrups you fancy.
From honey, chocolate or strawberry syrups. And toppings like fresh fruit, nuts or some chocolate chips!
