Crepe Noodle Nests with Fresh Berries

A playful twist on crepes—vanilla and chocolate-flavored crepes sliced into ‘noodles’ and twirled into edible nests, dusted with powdered sugar and served with juicy blackberries and raspberries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for chocolate crepes)
  • 1 tbsp butter, for cooking
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Fresh mint or basil (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Divide the batter in half. Whisk cocoa powder into one half to make chocolate crepe batter.
  3. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, swirling to form a thin layer.
  4. Cook each crepe for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Repeat with remaining batters. Let the crepes cool slightly.
  5. Stack and roll each crepe, then slice into thin strips to resemble noodles.
  6. Twirl the crepe strips into small nests and arrange on a serving plate.
  7. Top each nest with fresh raspberries and blackberries.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint or basil, if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can make crepes ahead of time and slice them just before serving.
  • Try using other fruits like strawberries or blueberries for variety.
  • For added richness, drizzle with chocolate or berry sauce.
