Ingredients

  • Cream Filling4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 6 Tbs cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Strawberry Topping1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 Tbs sugar
  • Crepes1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 Tbs melted butter

Directions

  • Cream FillingPlace cream cheese, cottage cheese, sugar, and vanilla in mixer; blend until smooth. Let filling rest in the refrigerator while you prepare the crepes.
  • Strawberry ToppingRinse, hull, and slice the strawberries. Toss with sugar and let chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • CrepesSift together flour, sugar, and salt; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Once well mixed, slowly add in the flour mixture, just until smooth (over-whisking can cause the crepes to become rubbery).
  • Next incorporate melted butter into the batter.
  • A crepe maker or pan is useful, but any flat bottomed frying pan will work. Lightly oil the cooking surface and heat over medium heat.
  • Pour two tablespoons of crepe batter into the pan, rotating the pan to evenly distribute. If using a crepe maker, use an offset spatula.
  • When edges are beginning to brown (approximately 30 seconds), turn crepe and cook for 10 more seconds. Remove from pan and cool.
  • Spoon cream filling into the center of each crepe and roll or fold closed.
  • Top with macerated strawberries and serve. Feel free to add other fresh fruit and a sprig of mint as garnish.
