Strawberry Crepes

"This is elegant, light and very tasty. Most of all quick and easy to make. Great for breakfast or dessert. I brought it in separate containers to a book club potluck tea. Everyone assembled their own and loved it."

directions

  • Filling:

  • Hull, rinse and slice strawberries into a bowl.
  • Add brown sugar and toss until well coated; set aside.
  • In a separate bowl whip whipping cream and refrigerate.
  • Crepes:

  • In a medium bowl whisk all ingredients together until there are no more lumps.
  • Over medium heat, heat crepe pan or non-stick frying pan.
  • When heated remove from heat and spray with cooking oil.
  • Pour a 1/3 cup of the batter in the pan. Quickly lift pan and tilt and turn until batter evenly covers the bottom.
  • Cook over medium heat for 30 - 45 seconds until the edges are dry enough to get a spatula under to flip.
  • Cook for another 30 seconds on the other side.
  • Should not be totally browned.
  • Remove from pan onto a plate.
  • Spray pan with cooking spray and repeat for the rest of the batter.
  • Stack crepes with wax paper between so they can be easily separated.
  • Crepes can be made ahead of time.
  • Can also be frozen wrap first in wax paper then put into plastic bag and then foil.
  • They stay moist if this is done when still slightly warm.
  • Assembly:

  • Down the middle 1/3 of the crepe spread one or 2 heaping spoons of whipped cream (about 2-3" wide).
  • On top of the whipped cream spoon some of the berry sugar mixture.
  • Fold one side of the crepe over the mixture and then the other side over first side.
  • Top with a spoon of berry sugar mixture, whipped cream. Drizzle chocolate syrup or sprinkle shaved chocolate and sliced almond optional.
  • Enjoy.

  1. In the words of Emeril, "Oh yea babe, it's a beautiful thing" This recipe is definitly top shelf.
     
  2. Delicious crepes! I made these with the fresh strawberries that are now in season and they were fabulous. My kids loved them! A definite keeper! Made for ZWT3 2007.
     
  3. These are fantastic. I added blueberries to mine because I had blueberries in my fridge that I didn't want to go bad. I also added a touch of vanilla and sugar to the heavy cream. These were super easy to make and my daughter really enjoyed helping.
     
  4. Oh my were these babies good! The recipe for the crepe itself was very nice, I plan on using that as my new crepe recipe. Very easy to make and work with. I scaled the filing down to serve two people, but I wish I hadnt! Tonight I am going to try this with mangos instead of strawberries. Very good! Made for PAC 07!
     
  5. WOW! These are soooooo delicious! I used all strawberries and sweetened them with Splenda instead of the brown sugar. Also sweetened the whipped cream a little and added some vanilla extract. I have some crepes frozen so that I can have these again soon. Thanks so much for posting this fabulous recipe.

<p>I live in Canada our winters are far to long and cold. I like to try new recipes. I don't really have a favorite cookbook. I enjoy reading fiction, my friends,good conversation,gardening,and the great outdoors. Love to travel, by plane, boat or automobile. My pet peeves are inconsiderate drivers who stop on a main road holding up traffic. <br />I'd really enjoy spending some time camping IN THE SUMMER by a beach or go the caribbean in the winter-- to the beach at one of the all inclusive clubs they always have a lot of different foods to try.. <br /><br /><a href=http://www.amazingcounter.com><img src=http://c9.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1862985&amp;c=5589268 border=0 alt=HTML Counter /></a><a href=http://www.onlinecomputercoupons.com>Dell</a> <a href=http://www.onlinecomputercoupons.com/dell-server.htm>Server Computers</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><br />Participation &amp; Awards:</p> <p><a href=http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/ZWT7%20Banners/9d968c99.gif></a></p> <p><img src=http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/ZWT7%20Banners/9d968c99.gif alt= /></p> <p><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/berriesblinkie.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/RecipeSwap2.JPG alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Sharon123/NZT-2-AnnaciasZaarTagbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Annacia's banner for Zaar Tag /><img src=http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Sharon123/Copyoftag300-banner.jpg border=0 alt=Susie's Banner for Newest Zaar Tag /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/ZaarStar-AMBanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket&gt; /></p>
