Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
- Fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, etc.)
Instructions
- Prepare Crepe Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring a thin consistency perfect for crepes.
- Heat Pan and Melt Butter: Warm a non-stick pan over medium heat and melt the butter to prevent crepes from sticking and to add a rich flavor to the crepes.
- Cook Crepes: Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, swirling it evenly to coat the surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift easily. Flip the crepe and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Repeat this process until all batter is used, stacking crepes on a plate.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and spreadable.
- Fill Crepes: Spread an even layer of the cheesecake filling over each crepe, covering the surface but leaving a small border at the edges.
- Roll and Slice: Roll up each filled crepe tightly, then slice into bite-sized pieces for easy serving and a beautiful presentation.
- Garnish and Serve: Arrange the roll-ups on a serving platter and garnish with fresh fruit such as strawberries or blueberries for a fresh, colorful, and flavorful finish. Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy texture.
Notes
- For thinner crepes, you can add a tablespoon of water or milk to the batter if it seems too thick.
- If crepes stick to the pan, ensure it is well-heated and lightly buttered before cooking each one.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
- Fresh fruit like raspberries, kiwi, or mango can also be used for garnish.
- These roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to one day.
