Strawberry and Cream Cheese Crepes
This recipe is a sweet dessert to share with your friends and family to enjoy!
Ingredients
For the crepes:
4 large eggs
⅓ cup butter
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
For the filling:
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
4 ounces cream cheese
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can of whipped cream
Instructions
For the crepes:
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet to medium heat. When the skillet is hot, lightly grease it with a little butter or cooking spray.
- Hold the handle of the skillet and as you pour a little bit of the batter in, tilt the skillet around in a circular motion to allow the batter to evenly coat the bottom of the pan, in a thin layer.
- Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the edges of the crepe curl slightly and the bottom of the crepe is lightly golden. Flip to the other side and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Adjust your heat between medium high until your crepes are cooking in about 30 seconds on each side. Re-grease your pan every few crepes, as needed.
- Remove crepe to a plate. Add more crepes to the plate as you cook them, and cover the plate with tinfoil to keep them warm.
For the filling:
- In a small bowl mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Spoon a thin layer of the filling into a crepe. Add some fresh strawberries and whipped cream on top and then roll it up.
- Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar, extra strawberries and whipped cream, if you like.
