Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes to allow the bubbles to settle.
While the batter rests, prepare the cheese filling. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of crepe batter into the center of the hot pan, swirling to create a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for about 30 seconds. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
To assemble, place a crepe on a flat surface. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese filling across the center of the crepe. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll the crepe into a log.
Repeat with the remaining crepes and cheese filling.
Serve the crepes with fresh strawberries on top and a dusting of powdered sugar for garnish. Optionally, drizzle with honey or a bit of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Enjoy your Crepes with Cheese Blintz and Fresh Strawberries!
