Easy Dessert Crepes

Rating: 5/5
Difficulty: Easy
Prep time: 15 minutes
Makes: 12-14 servings

Things you’ll need:

• 1 tub whipped cream
• 1/2 square cream cheese
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp melted butter

Toppings (of your choice):

• Jam
• Powdered sugar
• Chocolate syrup
• Fresh fruit

First step, make the filling

It is really easy. You simply add whipped cream and cream cheese to a bowl. Not really any science here, just mix it to your taste and liking. You will end up with a mashed potato type consistency.

Second step, make the batter

4 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp melted butter

Measure all ingredients into a bowl; blend for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides. Blend for 15 seconds more. I usually use a hand blender, it is pretty easy blending. It may take you a few minutes longer. You should end up with a pancake sort of batter, only much thinner.

Third step, throw it in a pan

Your batter (if you made it right, duh) will be a thin liquid consistency. Pour a little in a pan and tilt and twirl your pan until it full covers the pans cooking surface. It should be about a quarter inch thick, again not rocket science. I only cook them on one side for a couple minutes. The bottom will end up a little more smooth while the top will be a little spongy.

Fourth and final step, make the crepe

Now this is really the fun part, you get to assemble this tasty treat. I start out by putting a line of the creme cheese and whipped cream mix (that we made earlier) in the center of the crepe. Then I roll it up like a burrito and add jam, chocolate syrup or both on top. Topping it off by sprinkling some powdered sugar on top. If I have some fresh fruit around it is certainly going on top as well. Some people prefer putting everything in the middle. There is no wrong way to make one. Have fun!
