Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Strawberry Filling:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Cream Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Whisk flour, eggs, milk, water, and melted butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth, creating a silky, lump-free batter. Let mixture rest for 15 minutes to allow gluten to relax.
- Prepare strawberry compote by dicing strawberries and combining them with granulated sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until berries break down and syrup thickens.
- Create cream filling by beating cream cheese until fluffy, then gradually incorporate powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Mix until completely smooth and creamy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low temperature, lightly greasing with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour a thin layer of batter into the skillet, quickly tilting and rotating pan to spread evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges become golden and surface looks dry.
- Gently flip crepe and cook opposite side for 30-45 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
- Spread cream cheese mixture across each crepe, then top with warm strawberry compote.
- Roll or fold crepes, garnishing with additional fresh strawberries or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
- Serve immediately while crepes are warm and filling is soft.
Notes
- Allow batter to rest at room temperature to develop smoother, more elastic texture that prevents tough crepes.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for maximum flavor and natural sweetness in the compote.
- Adjust sugar levels in filling and compote to accommodate different dietary preferences or reduce overall sweetness.
- Non-stick pan ensures perfect crepe formation and prevents sticking during delicate cooking process.
