Made with Simple Ingredients
FOR THE CREPES
- All-purpose flour: flour helps get these crepes nice and fluffy.
- Sugar: sugar is a must-have in crepe batter! It adds the perfect touch of sweetness.
- Salt: salt helps balance out the sweetness and elevates all the other flavors.
- Eggs: we used two large eggs and 1 large egg white for the batter.
- Butter: make sure your butter is unsalted, melted, and cooled before mixing!
FOR THE FILLING
- Cream cheese: cream cheese creates a creamy, tangy filling that compliments the strawberries so well!
- Heavy whipping cream: heavy whipping cream gives this filling a richer, creamier taste.
- Powdered sugar: there’s nothing like powdered sugar to give you that little extra sweetness!
- Salt: salt is used again to balance out the sweet and bring all the other flavors to life.
- Strawberries: you’ll need about two cups of sliced strawberries for this recipe.
- Fresh mint: mint makes for a tasty garnish that really elevates the flavor of these strawberry crepes.
How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Crepes
PREPARE FILLING
Add all of the ingredients, except the strawberries, to a medium bowl. Using a hand mixer, mix until the cream has thickened and the filling is light and fluffy. Set aside.
MAKE CREPE BATTER
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Then add the remaining crepe ingredients to the bowl.
Whisk together until everything is well blended. It should have the consistency of a thin pancake batter.
COOK CREPES
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add ¼ cup of the crepe batter into the pan. Pick the pan up and slowly swirl the pan around so that the batter spreads evenly, making the crepe larger.
Cook for 1 minute, flip, and cook for another 20-30 seconds. Set on a plate. Continue until you have made all of the crepes.
ASSEMBLE
Next, spread ¼ cup of the filling into the middle of each crepe. Spoon ¼ cup of strawberries on top of the filling and fold the crepe in half.
GARNISH, SERVE + ENJOY
Garnish with fresh mint and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious crepes!
Top Tips for the Perfect Crepe
- Get a nonstick pan with a heavy bottom so that your crepes are cooked perfectly without the hassle of them sticking.
- Allow your pan to heat up slowly. Heating it too quickly will result in a burnt crepe.
- Check that your pan is hot enough before adding the crepe batter. Adding it too soon may cause the batter to stick to the pan.
- Don’t flip your crepes too early! It’ll be ready to flip when the crepe surface is no longer shiny, and the edges begin to brown.
