For the crepes: In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg, butter, and vanilla. In a large bowl, whisk or sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Whisk until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat an 8-inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter and swirl to coat. Pour in a small amount of batter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook until the crepe develops bubbles, about 1 minute. Flip and cook on the other side for another minute or so. Place on a plate and cover with a double layer of a clean dish towel. Repeat with remaining batter. Note: If batter seems too thick, you can whisk in a small amount of milk to thin it out. For the filling: Place cream cheese and maple syrup in a medium bowl and beat until smooth. Add orange zest and juice and beat again. Add whipping cream and beat until medium-stiff peaks form, scraping down the sides of the bowl once. To assemble: Lay out a crepe on a plate and spread a generous amount of the orange filling down the middle. Roll up and sprinkle with extra orange zest and dust with powdered sugar.
