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.) for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, all-purpose flour, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Heat the Pan and Melt Butter: Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan slightly to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Crepes: Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, swirling it around to create a thin, even layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges start to lift from the pan, then gently flip and cook the other side for about 30 seconds. Repeat until all batter is used.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, forming the cheesecake filling.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Spread an even layer of the cheesecake filling over each crepe, then carefully roll each crepe up tightly.
- Cut and Serve: Cut the rolled crepes into bite-sized pieces, arrange them on a serving plate, and garnish with fresh fruit such as strawberries or blueberries.
- Enjoy Immediately: Serve the cheesecake crepe roll-ups fresh for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smoother filling consistency.
- Use a non-stick or well-seasoned pan to prevent crepes from sticking while cooking.
- The fresh fruit garnish adds a refreshing contrast and can be customized to your favorites.
- This recipe can be doubled easily to serve more people.
- For thinner crepes, add a little extra milk to the batter if needed.
