Why You’ll Love This Eggnog Crêpes Recipe

Eggnog lovers will go crazy for this festive twist on classic French crêpes. They are infused with creamy eggnog and a hint of vanilla, perfect for December mornings or even as a sweet Christmas Eve dinner. What sets them apart is how soft and pliable they are, making them ideal for folding around your favorite fillings.

Can I Use Store-Bought or Homemade Eggnog?

Absolutely. Both will work wonderfully. Store-bought eggnog is super convenient and often thicker, which adds more richness to your batter. If you prefer homemade eggnog, just make sure it’s chilled and well blended before adding to the mix.

If your eggnog is on the thinner side, consider reducing the milk slightly in the recipe to keep your batter the perfect consistency.

Ingredients for the Eggnog Crêpes

The beauty of these crêpes lies in their simplicity. The batter is whisked until smooth and left to rest, creating the silkiest texture when cooked.

Eggnog is the heart of this recipe. It brings all the holiday flavor and provides richness and moisture.

All-purpose flour gives structure to the crêpes and helps them hold together without tearing.

Eggs are essential for binding and creating that soft yet durable crêpe texture.

Milk balances the thickness of the batter, especially if using a thick eggnog.

Vanilla extract enhances the sweet, cozy flavor profile.

Butter (melted) adds richness and ensures the crêpes cook up with a slight golden edge.

Salt might seem minimal, but it sharpens all the sweet notes beautifully.

How To Make the Eggnog Crêpes

Step 1: Blend the Batter

Add eggnog, milk, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, melted butter, and a pinch of salt to a blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 15-20 seconds. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes (or refrigerate up to overnight).

Step 2: Heat and Pour

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting it in a circular motion so the batter coats the surface evenly.

Step 3: Flip Gently

Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly and the bottom is lightly golden. Use a spatula to flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 4: Stack and Fill

Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Fill or top with whipped cream, fruit, mascarpone, or even Nutella for an extra treat.

Serving and Storing Eggnog Crêpes

These crêpes are perfect for serving 4 to 6 people depending on the filling and portions. Stack them warm and serve with your favorite toppings: cinnamon sugar, maple syrup, or fresh berries.

To store, place cooled crêpes between sheets of parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them flat in a zip-top bag. Reheat in a skillet or microwave when ready to enjoy.
