ingredients
- 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
- 4 ounces tub-style light cream cheese (about 1/2 cup)
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups skim milk
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- cooking spray
- 2 cups blueberries or 2 cups other fresh berries
- 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
directions
- Place cottage cheese in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth, scraping sides of processor bowl once. Add cream cheese, sugar, and 1 tablespoons vanilla; process until smooth. Pour mixture into a bowl; cover and chill.
- Place flour in a medium bowl. Combine milk, oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, salt and eggs and add to flour, stirring with a whisk until almost smooth. Cover and chill 2 hours.
- Place a 10-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Remove skillet from heat. Pour 3 tablespoons batter into pan; quickly tilt pan in all directions so batter covers skillet with a thin film. Cook about 1 minute.
- Carefully lift edge of crepe with a spatula to test for doneness. The crepe is ready to turn when it can be shaken loose from the pan and the underside is lightly browned. Turn crepe over; cook 30 seconds on other side.
- Place crepe on a towel; cool. Repear procedure with remaining batter. Stack crepes between single sheets of wax paper or paper towels to prevent sticking.
- Spoon 3 tablespoons cottage cheese mixture in center of each crepe; fold sides and ends of crepe over filling to form a rectangle. Place filled crepes, seam sides down, on a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap. (Blitnzes may be covered and chilled at this point).
- Place a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat until hot. Place 4 Blintzes, seam side down, in skillet, cook 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn blintzes over; cook for 2 more minutes. Repeat procedure with remaining blintzes. Serve warm with blueberries, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
