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.
Allow the batter to rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
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.
Heat a small non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of vegetable oil.
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.
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.
Repeat the process until all the batter is used, stacking the cooked crepes carefully.
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.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining vegetable oil over medium heat and place the filled blintzes seam side down.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of dairy-free yogurt.
