Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups Almond milk
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Dairy-free cream cheese
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond milk, eggs, melted coconut oil, and salt until smooth and free of lumps to form the crepe batter.

Step 2

Allow the batter to rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the dairy-free cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy to make the filling.

Step 4

Heat a small non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of vegetable oil.

Step 5

Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling it to evenly coat the bottom of the pan in a thin layer.

Step 6

Cook each crepe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to curl and the bottom is lightly browned, then carefully flip and cook for another minute. Remove and place on a plate.

Step 7

Repeat the process until all the batter is used, stacking the cooked crepes carefully.

Step 8

To assemble the blintzes, place a spoonful of the cheese filling in the center of a crepe, fold the sides over the filling, and then fold the top and bottom to create a neat package.

Step 9

In a large skillet, heat the remaining vegetable oil over medium heat and place the filled blintzes seam side down.

Step 10

Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Serve warm, optionally garnished with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of dairy-free yogurt.
