CREPES WITH STRAWBERRY JAM

I made these one Sunday after church for my girls family. They turned out very good. Only thing i might change is adding a little bit of whipped cream to the filling, even without it - its is supurb!

 

 

Ingredients

Crepe Filling:

• 2 cups strawberry jam  (or any jam you may have on hand or prefer, lets not discrimonate)
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons sliced mint

Batter:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons freshly chopped mint leaves
• Cooking spray

Fresh Whipped Cream:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon lemon extract
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

For the filling:

Directions

In a small bowl, mix together jam and cream cheese until well incorporated. Set aside.

For the batter:

• Add all batter ingredients to a blender and blend well.

For the whipped cream:

Using a hand mixer, blend ingredients together until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until serving.

Spray a nonstick crepe pan with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add 2-ounces crepe batter and rotate pan until batter adheres to the sides. Allow to cook for 1 minute. Once slight bubbles start to form on the crepe, flip with a rubber spatula. Remove from the pan, place on a platter and repeat with remaining batter. Set aside.
Place approximately 3 tablespoons jam mixture in center of a crepe and roll tightly. Repeat until all the crepes are filled and rolled. Serve on a large platter or individual plates with whipped cream alongside, if desired
