Ingredients
Scale
Main Crepe Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Berry Coconut Cream Filling:
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Garnish and Topping:
- 1/4 cup fresh berries
- 2 tbsp shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a food processor until smooth and fully incorporated, creating a silky batter with no lumps.
- Allow batter to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, enabling gluten to relax and ensuring tender crepes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly brushing with butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour a thin layer of batter into the skillet, tilting and rotating pan to spread evenly, creating a delicate, translucent crepe.
- Cook for approximately 1-2 minutes until edges turn golden and surface appears matte, then gently flip and cook opposite side for 30 seconds.
- Transfer crepe to a plate and repeat process with remaining batter, stacking crepes between parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine mixed berries, coconut cream, powdered sugar, and lemon juice in a blender, processing until smooth and creating a vibrant filling.
- Spread berry coconut cream across each crepe, rolling or folding gently to encase the filling.
- Arrange crepes on serving plates, garnishing with fresh berries, shredded coconut, and a delicate drizzle of honey.
- Optional: Dust with additional powdered sugar and sprinkle vanilla extract for enhanced aromatic finish.
Notes
- Resting the batter helps develop a smoother, more tender texture by allowing flour proteins to fully hydrate and relax gluten strands.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast iron pan to achieve perfectly thin, delicate crepes without tearing or sticking.
- For gluten-free variation, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or coconut flour, adjusting liquid ratios to maintain batter consistency.
- Keep crepes warm by covering with a clean kitchen towel or placing in a low-temperature oven to prevent drying out during preparation.
