2 cups lingonberry jam
4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sliced mint
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
2 eggs
2 tablespoons freshly chopped mint leaves
Cooking spray
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Add all batter ingredients to a blender and blend well.

Steps:

For the filling:
In a small bowl, mix together jam and cream cheese until well incorporated. Set aside.;
For the whipped cream:
Using a hand mixer, blend ingredients together until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until serving.
Spray a nonstick crepe pan with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add 2-ounces crepe batter and rotate pan until batter adheres to the sides. Allow to cook for 1 minute. Once slight bubbles start to form on the crepe, flip with a rubber spatula. Remove from the pan, place on a platter and repeat with remaining batter. Set aside.
Place approximately 3 tablespoons jam mixture in center of a crepe and roll tightly. Repeat until all the crepes are filled and rolled. Serve on a large platter or individual plates with whipped cream alongside, if desired
