Strawberry & Lemon Cream Crepes

These Strawberry & Lemon Cream Crepes make a great breakfast or dessert! Easy and delicious recipe!

Some of you may remember that I was kinda late to the crepes game. I don't ever remember eating crepes when I was growing up, although, I had heard of them. When I first started blogging, it seemed like everyone was making crepes and they all looked so beautiful and sounded almost like having a dessert for breakfast.

If you've read Love Bakes Good Cakes for awhile, you may recall that I made my very first crepes recipe back in March of 2014 ... Banana Fluffernutter Crepes. They were a combination of some of my favorite things - bananas, chocolate, marshmallow cream and peanut butter. Since that first attempt, I have made quite a few varieties - all of them being on the sweet side.

I haven't tried a savory variety of crepes yet .... I think that says something about me. I obviously like my sweets. A lot. Making a savory version of crepes is on my list of things to do this year .... just so ya know!

These Strawberry & Lemon Cream Crepes would make a great addition to a weekend breakfast .... and they could easily be served as a dessert too! My first thought when I made these crepes, was that they would be perfect for Mother's Day ... that is coming up soon, ya know?!

As a matter of fact, all of the recipes from the #12bloggers would be great for Mother's Day brunch. That's right - it's the 12th of the month, so that means you get 12 themed recipes from 12 different bloggers! This month, we're sharing brunch recipes!

Strawberry & Lemon Cream Crepes

by Jamie @ Love Bakes Good Cakes

Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

For the crepes:

1½ cups milk
4 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1½ tsp. sugar
Pinch of salt
8 tsp. butter

For the filling:

½ cup lemon curd
½ cup heavy whipping cream
Chopped strawberries

For the garnish:

Additional Lemon Cream Sauce
Additional strawberries

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk the milk and eggs. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the milk mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for one hour.

2. In an 8-in. nonstick skillet, melt 1 tsp. butter over medium heat. Pour 2-3 tbsp. of the batter into the center of the pan. Lift and tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly with the batter. Cook until the top appears dry, carefully turn with a spatula and cook an additional 15-20 seconds longer. Remove the crepe to a wire rack. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding butter to the skillet as needed.

3. Place the lemon curd and heavy whipping cream in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

To serve: Top each crepe with lemon cream sauce and chopped strawberries. Roll up and carefully place on a plate. Add a dollop of lemon cream sauce. Top a sliced strawberry, if desired.

To store crepes: Once the crepes have cooled, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels between them. Refrigerate and use within 2-3 days. Fill with desired filling.
