Description
Delicious cherry cream cheese crepes that are perfect for a delightful breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups frozen pitted cherries (or use fresh)
- 1 ½ cups + 2 tsp water
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons corn starch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 8 oz light cream cheese (1 package)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and blend with an immersion blender (alternatively, use a blender if you don’t have an immersion blender).
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Spray with non-stick spray and place about ¼ cup of batter in the center of the pan. Gently turn the pan to coat the bottom.
- Cook for about 1 minute until starting to brown. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Continue until all batter is used (you should get about 6 crepes), cover and set aside if serving warm, or set aside in the refrigerator if serving cold later on.
- In a medium pan, combine cherries, 1½ cups water and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook until cherries are softened and heated through.
- Combine corn starch with 2 teaspoons water. Gradually add to cherries, stirring, until you reach your desired consistency. Set aside. (Refrigerate if serving cold)
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Set aside.
- Spread one side of each crepe with cream cheese. Top with cherry filling and roll or fold. Top with whipped cream and extra cherry filling if desired.
- *If serving these cold, be sure to refrigerate everything until needed.
Notes
- Serve warm or cold, according to preference.
- Feel free to use fresh cherries instead of frozen if available.
