Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup club soda
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • FILLING:
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup coffee liqueur or strong brewed coffee
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Optional: Chocolate syrup and whipped cream

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, soda, butter, coffee and vanilla. In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa and salt; add to egg mixture and mix well. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour.
  2. Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir batter. Fill a 1/4-cup measure halfway with batter; pour into center of pan. Quickly lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn crepe and cook until bottom is cooked, 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan as needed. When cool, stack crepes between pieces of waxed paper or paper towels.
  3. For filling, in a large bowl, beat cheeses and sugar until fluffy. Add liqueur and vanilla; beat until smooth. Spoon about 2 tablespoons filling down the center of each crepe; roll up. If desired, garnish with chocolate syrup and whipped cream.
