Orange Crepes image

Extremely fancy dessert that you would be proud to serve your company. Absolutely delicious and easy to put together. I keep some crepes frozen at all times so that if I need an emergency dessert - all I have to do is microwave and make sauce. It will depend on the size of crepes that you make how many this will yield and I cannot tell you for sure as I always make a double or triple batch to store some.

Time 1h25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
3 tablespoons minced orange rind
12 fluid ounces frozen orange juice concentrate
cornstarch, wee bit
orange liqueur, prefer triple sec

Steps:

  • Combine softened cream cheese and orange rind and set aside to blend.
  • Combine eggs, flour, salt, and milk. Beat until smooth. Let stand 30 minutes.
  • For each crepe - pour ¼ cup batter in hot lightly greased 6 ½ inch skillet. Cook until lightly browned on both sides. Stack crepes between sheets of waxed paper and freeze until you need them.
  • You can thaw these in bulk in your oven or a couple at a time in the microwave. I don't freeze them filled but do the filling after they are thawed.
  • To make sauce - heat concentrated orange juice in pot and thicken slightly with corn starch. Pour over filled and rolled crepes and then sprinkle one teaspoons orange liqueur on top to serve.
