Ingredients
Scale
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
Optional Toppings:
- Fresh berries
- Chocolate drizzle
- Powdered sugar
- Fruit compote
Instructions
- Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 15 to 30 minutes to allow air bubbles to dissipate and improve the texture of the crepes.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, swirling it quickly to coat the entire surface evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe carefully and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the filling becomes light and fluffy.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Spread a thin, even layer of the cheesecake filling over each cooled crepe. Roll each crepe tightly and place them seam-side down on a serving plate. You may slice them in half for easier serving or keep them whole.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Garnish the roll-ups with your choice of fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of chocolate, or fruit compote for added flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately or chill before serving.
Notes
- Crepes can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- The cheesecake filling can be flavored by adding lemon zest or a pinch of cinnamon for a different twist.
- For a dairy-free alternative, consider using vegan cream cheese and whipped coconut cream.
- Ensure crepes are completely cooled before spreading the filling to avoid melting or runny filling.
