Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Equipment

Ingredients  

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Berry Filling

  • 1 pint berries
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh

Crêpes

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 ¼ cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions 

Whipped Cream

  • Pour heavy cream into a large mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until it begins to thicken.
  • Add sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until soft peaks form. Taste and add more sugar if you want it sweeter.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Berry Filling

  • Combine berries, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a non-stick frying pan
  • Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for 10 to 12 minutes or until juices are bubbly and berries are tender.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.

Crêpes

  • In a blender, combine the eggs, vanilla, sugar, milk, and flour and blend for 10 seconds. Transfer the crêpes batter to a medium bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to one day to allow the batter to rest and the flour to fully absorb the liquid.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet and add butter to coat.
  • Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly.
  • Cook for approximately 2 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1 minute. Remove from and repeat until all the batter is gone.
  • Serve crêpes warm with fresh whipped cream, berries, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
