CREPES
3 eggs
1/2 c milk
1/2 c water
3 Tbsp melted butter
3/4 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
CREAM CHEESE FILLING
1 8oz package cream cheese
1 1/4 c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest, grated
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 c whipped cream
2 Tbsp sour cream
FRUIT FILLING
2 c strawberries, blueberries, peaches, cherries, or any other fruit
3 Tbsp sugar

Steps:

1. Crepes: 1. In a blender, mix all ingredients and blend until smooth. 2. Heat a small (10 inch) round non-stick skillet to medium/high. 3. Spray pan lightly with PAM before each crepe. 4. Pour about 2-3 TBSP of batter into the hot pan and immediately begin gently swirling the batter so as to coat the entire bottom of the pan. 5. Cook for a minute or two until the crepe begins to lift off the side of the pan. 6. Using a soft spatula, gently remove the crepe and stack on a warm plate. 7. Continue for the rest of the batter. Makes about 20 crepes.
2. Cream Cheese Filling 1. In a bowl mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and sour cream with a mixer until smooth. 2. Gently fold in whipped cream to incorporate. 3. Chill until crepes are ready for filling.
3. Fruit Filling 1. In a separate bowl, add fruit and sugar and allow to sit for 15-20 minutes (or while you make the crepes)
4. Assembly 1. Take a warm crepe, add about 2 TBSP of Cream Cheese Filling and 1-2 TBSP of Fruit Filling. 2. Gently roll up the crepe and eat! 3. I like to either serve these buffet style for my family so they can fill theirs their own way (sometimes even with a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top and a dusting of powdered sugar) or I make a large batch and roll them into a casserole dish to share at family gatherings.
