Strawberry Crepes
Servings 4 servings (2 crepes each)
Ingredients
Crepes
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 8 oz package cream cheese
- ¾ cup icing (confectioner's) sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup strawberries chopped
Strawberry Maple Syrup
- 1 cup strawberries sliced
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
Crepes
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Whisk in the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla. Slowly whisk in the milk until batter is smooth. Whisk in the melted butter.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Grease the skillet with a little butter and a paper towel. Add ⅓ cup of batter to the pan and rotate to evenly cover the surface of the pan.
- Cook for about 2 minutes, until the crepe appears dry and the sides start to turn golden brown. Flip and cook another 30 seconds or so, until golden. Remove to a plate and continue with the remaining batter.
Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat or whisk the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the icing sugar and vanilla. With a rubber spatula or spoon, gently fold in the whipped cream and chopped strawberries until combined.
Strawberry Maple Syrup
- In a medium saucepan, heat the sliced strawberries and maple syrup over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes or so, and blend with an immersion (or regular) blender, until desired consistency is reached.
Assembly
- Spread about a ⅓ cup of filling down the center of each crepe and roll the crepe around the filling. Drizzle with strawberry maple syrup and garnish with fresh strawberries.
Notes
Crepes, filing and syrup can be made up to a day ahead. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Reheat crepes for a few seconds in the microwave before assembling.
If you use a sweetened commercial whipped topping instead of whipped cream, be sure to reduce the sugar to taste.
