Nutella crêpe
The Nutella crêpe is a popular international dessert featuring a thin, delicate French pancake filled with the iconic Italian hazelnut-chocolate spread. It typically consists of a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and butter, cooked into a light, foldable pancake before being generously spread with Nutella. While its roots are in French cuisine, the addition of Nutella has made it a globally recognized and beloved street food and café treat.
