Scale
- For the Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh sliced strawberries
- For the Strawberry Sauce:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- To make the crepes, blend all crepe ingredients until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease, then pour in 1/4 cup batter, swirling to coat the pan. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter.
- For the filling, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- For the sauce, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Spread cream cheese filling onto each crepe, add sliced strawberries, and roll them up.
- Top with warm strawberry sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
- Letting the crepe batter rest helps yield tender, pliable crepes.
- Crepes can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen for easy assembly.
- Swap strawberries with raspberries or blueberries for variation.
