Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cups Fresh raspberries
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for raspberry sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water (for cornstarch slurry)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until smooth and lump-free. Cover and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
Step 4
While the batter rests, prepare the cream filling. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Set aside in a clean bowl.
Step 5
In the same mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese gently until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 6
For the raspberry sauce, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook while stirring until the raspberries break down, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the saucepan and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds (optional). Set aside.
Step 8
Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with melted butter or nonstick spray.
Step 9
Pour about 1/4 cup of crepe batter into the pan and quickly tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 10
To assemble, spread a spoonful of the cream filling down the center of each crepe and fold or roll as desired. Drizzle with warm raspberry sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
