Introduction
Tiramisu Crepe Rolls combine the delicate texture of crepes with the rich, creamy flavors of classic tiramisu. This elegant and easy-to-make dessert is perfect for special occasions or whenever you crave something sweet and sophisticated.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)
- Cocoa powder (for dusting)
- Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in the melted butter and let the batter rest for about 15 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
- Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes until edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden, then flip and cook another minute. Repeat with remaining batter and stack crepes on a plate.
- Step 3: Whip the heavy cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. In another bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, brewed coffee, and coffee liqueur if using. Fold the whipped cream gently into the mascarpone mixture until smooth.
- Step 4: Place a crepe on a clean surface and spread a generous layer of the tiramisu filling over it. Roll the crepe tightly around the filling. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling.
- Step 5: Slice the crepe rolls into bite-sized pieces. Dust with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy.
Tips & Variations
- For a caffeine-free version, replace coffee and coffee liqueur with strong brewed hot chocolate or espresso-flavored syrup.
- Use fresh berries or sliced strawberries inside the crepe rolls for a fruity twist.
- Let the crepe rolls chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to enhance the flavors and texture.
Storage
Store the assembled crepe rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best results, consume within this time as the crepes may become soggy. Serve chilled or allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the filling and crepes may be affected.

Ingredients
Crepes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Tiramisu Filling
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)
Garnish
- Cocoa powder (for dusting)
- Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth. Stir in the melted butter to incorporate. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate fully, which helps produce tender crepes.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns lightly golden. Flip and cook for another 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking each cooked crepe on a plate.
- Prepare the Tiramisu Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, brewed coffee, and coffee liqueur if using. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and fully incorporated, creating a creamy tiramisu filling.
- Assemble the Crepe Rolls: Lay a crepe flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the tiramisu filling evenly over the crepe. Starting from one end, roll the crepe tightly around the filling. Repeat this process with the remaining crepes and filling to form multiple rolls.
- Serve: Slice the crepe rolls into bite-sized pieces. Dust the rolls with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your delicious Tiramisu Crepe Rolls.
Notes
- Letting the crepe batter rest enhances the texture and makes the crepes more tender.
- Use strong brewed coffee for a pronounced coffee flavor in the filling.
- The coffee liqueur is optional but adds an authentic tiramisu taste.
- Chill the assembled crepe rolls briefly if you prefer a firmer texture before slicing.
- Handle crepes gently while rolling to avoid tearing.
