Ingredients
  

For the Crepe Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour For gluten-free options, consider using almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter Melted.
For the Vanilla Cream Filling
  • 1 cup heavy cream Alternatively, use Greek yogurt for a lighter filling.
  • 8 ounces mascarpone or cream cheese Substitute with ricotta for a different texture.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Can replace with almond extract for a unique twist.
For the Fresh Toppings
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries Frozen raspberries can also be used; just thaw before incorporating.
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar Optional for dusting.
Optional Flavor Boosters
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest Adds brightness to the vanilla cream.
  • 1 tablespoon raspberry liqueur Enhances the fruit flavor.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Non-stick skillet or crepe pan
  • Electric mixer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fully combined. Allow the batter to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly brush it with butter. Pour a small amount of batter (about ¼ cup) into the pan, swirling to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the edges begin to lift and turn golden. Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 30-60 seconds.
  3. In a large bowl, whip heavy cream with mascarpone or cream cheese, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  4. To assemble each crepe, lay one crepe flat on a plate and spoon or pipe a generous amount of the vanilla cream along one edge. Add a handful of fresh raspberries on top of the cream, then gently fold or roll the crepe.
  5. Dust the finished crepes with powdered sugar for an elegant touch and serve immediately.
