Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs, separated (room temperature)
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring (gel or liquid)
  • 1 cup (240g) mascarpone cheese, chilled
  • 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly. (5 minutes)
  2. Separate the eggs, placing yolks in a medium bowl and whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl. (2 minutes)
  3. To the egg yolks, add buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Whisk until smooth and vibrant red. (3 minutes)
  4. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing. (3 minutes)
  5. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. (5 minutes)
  6. Carefully fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the batter to lighten it, then gently fold in the rest. (3 minutes)
  7. Heat a crepe pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray. (3 minutes)
  8. Pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) batter into the pan, swirling quickly to spread thinly. Cook until edges lift and surface looks set, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Transfer to a cooling rack or plate. Repeat. (15-20 minutes)
  9. In a chilled bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high until soft peaks form and mixture is light and fluffy. (5 minutes)
  10. Spread a generous spoonful of mascarpone filling on each crepe, then roll or fold into quarters. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes to let flavors meld. (5 minutes)

Notes

If batter thickens, add a splash of buttermilk to loosen. Keep cooked crepes covered with a clean towel to prevent drying out. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping mascarpone filling for best texture. Fold egg whites gently to preserve fluffiness. Can prepare batter up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate.
