Description
I woke up super early this morning and ended up working up quite an appetite. I rummaged through the fridge and realized I still had quite a bit of cream cheese that needed to be used as well as 2 pints of fresh blueberries. Ideas started swarming around my head and before I knew it, KitchenAid and I were whipping up a batch of these babies! They’re pretty sweet so I paired them with some low-fat turkey bacon.
Ingredients
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 4 ounces, weight Fat-Free Cream Cheese- Room Temp
- ½ sticks Low-Fat Butter
- ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- ½ cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
- FOR THE CREPE BATTER:
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 2 Eggs
- ½ cups Cup Low-fat Milk
- ½ cups Water
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
Preparation
For the cheesecake filling:
With an electric mixer, mix cream cheese and butter on medium speed until smooth. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure complete mixing. Add vanilla, continue mixing, then slowly add powdered sugar with the mixer still running.
Pour in the blueberries and combine on low speed. Mix just enough to give the mixture a pink/purple tint. You want most of the blueberries intact.
Transfer to an air-tight container or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the crepes:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter and beat until smooth.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Make one crepe at a time. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side until it’s light brown. Set aside on a plate or put into a 200 F oven to keep warm while you continue making the rest of the crepes. Serve crepes hot, with some of the filling wrapped in the center.
