Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup water
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
- 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream whipped
- 4 cups sliced strawberries
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- To make the crepe batter: Place flour, milk, water, eggs, melted butter, and salt into a blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.
- To make the filling: Beat confectioners’ sugar, cream cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.
- Gently fold in whipped cream.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour or scoop batter onto the griddle, using approximately 2 tablespoons for each crepe.
- Tip and rotate the pan to spread batter as thinly as possible.
- Flip when batter is set and edges begin to brown. Continue cooking until bottom begins to brown. Stack finished crepes on a plate; cover with a damp towel.
- Fill each crepe with 1/4 cup sliced strawberries and 1/3 cup cream cheese filling.
- Roll up and top with a dollop of cream cheese filling and more sliced strawberries.
Notes
Spread a thin layer of Nutella on the crêpes before filling, or drizzle with chocolate sauce for a special treat.
You can rewarm crêpes briefly in a nonstick skillet over low heat, or in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds.
