Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces dairy-free cream cheese
- 0.5 cup dairy-free sour cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 cup fruit jam or preserves
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, flour, eggs, melted coconut oil, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Set aside for 10 minutes.
While the batter rests, prepare the filling by combining the dairy-free cream cheese, dairy-free sour cream, and lemon zest in a separate bowl. Mix just until smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with a small amount of coconut oil.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the rested batter onto the skillet, swirling the pan to evenly coat the bottom with a thin layer.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden, then carefully flip using a spatula and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the skillet as needed.
To assemble, place a cooked crepe on a flat surface and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the prepared filling onto the center. Fold the edges over the filling to create a rectangular parcel.
Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
Optionally, gently fry each blintz in the skillet for 1 minute on each side to lightly crisp the exterior.
Serve warm, topped with fruit jam or preserves of your choice.
