Garrett's berry lemon cream crepes

Creamy lemon berry Crepes

These are the crepes that Garrett always makes for me on my birthday and mothers day.  I thought we had added this recipe previously but apparently not, so here it is! This recipe comes from allrecipes.com and is slightly adapted. It's a definite winner.  Garrett usually doubles it when he makes them.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

 

• 1 1/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
• 4 cups sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries or berries of choice

Directions

1. Place the eggs, milk, water, melted butter, flour, and salt in the pitcher of a blender; blend until smooth.
2. Blend the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 2 tablespoons for each crepe. Tip and rotate pan to spread batter as thinly as possible. Flip over when the batter is set and the edges are beginning to brown. Cook until the other side begins to brown. Stack finished crepes on a plate, cover with a damp towel and set aside.
4. To serve, fill each crepe with 1/4 cup sliced strawberries and 1/3 cup of the cream cheese filling, roll up and top with a small dollop of the cream cheese filling and more sliced strawberries.
