Ingredients

2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3-4 tablespoon butter, melted (plus more for cooking)
2/3 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
1/2 cup crème fraîche
generous shavings of whole nutmeg

Directions

Whisk flour, cocoa, sugar, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk in eggs, ½ the milk, and vanilla to form a paste. Whisk in remaining milk. Pour batter through a fine mesh strainer into another mixing bowl. Stir in melted butter. Cover bowl and chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour.
Heat crepe pan (or 8-inch nonstick skillet) over medium heat. Brush pan with small amount of melted butter. Stir batter. Ladle 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter into the pan; enough to form a thin layer. Quickly lift and rotate the pan in order to spread batter evenly.
Cook for approximately 1 minute until crepe is lightly browned on the bottom and set on top; lift and turn with spatula. Cook an additional 30 to 45 seconds. Remove crepe and place on plate. Cover with paper towel. Repeat with remaining batter. Cool crepes.
Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of chocolate hazelnut spread onto each crepe; roll and place on serving tray. Dollop or spread crème fraîche over crepes. Generously grate whole nutmeg over plate. Serve.
