Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• Zest of 1 orange
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Additional orange zest for garnish
• Powdered sugar for dusting
• Fresh berries for serving optional

Instructions:

Mix the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl using a whisk

Take out a different bowl and mix the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract with a whisk

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ones while whisking the mixture so that it is smooth and well mixed

Add the semisweet chocolate chips and mix them in

Take ten minutes to let the batter rest

Melt a little butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat

To make the crepes thin and even, add 1/4 cup of the batter and swirl the pan to mix it in

The crepe is done when the edges start to lift and the center is set

Change the crepe over and cook the other side for an extra minute or two

Do it again with the rest of the batter, adding more butter to the pan if needed

Warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just starts to boil

Take it off the heat and add the chocolate chips

Mix them together until they are smooth, then let them sit for one minute

This will make a chocolate ganache

Put away

Add the powdered sugar, orange zest, fresh orange juice, and vanilla extract to a different bowl

Beat the mixture until it is creamy and smooth

Spread a lot of the orange cream cheese filling on each crepe to put them together

Add some of the chocolate ganache on top

Roll the crepes up and put them on a plate seam-side down

Pour more chocolate ganache on top, and then add more orange zest and powdered sugar on top to decorate

If you want, you can serve the chocolate crepes with fresh berries
