Delicate crepes filled with creamy sweetness and fresh strawberry slices for a delightful morning or evening.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Batter

01 - 125 grams all-purpose flour
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 310 milliliters whole milk
04 - 30 milliliters melted butter
05 - 12 grams granulated sugar
06 - 1.25 milliliters salt
07 - 5 milliliters vanilla extract

→ Filling

08 - 225 grams cream cheese, softened
09 - 120 milliliters heavy whipping cream
10 - 40 grams powdered sugar
11 - 5 milliliters vanilla extract
12 - 30 grams strawberry jam

→ Fruit & Garnishes

13 - 300 grams fresh strawberries, sliced
14 - powdered sugar, for dusting
15 - fresh mint leaves (optional)
16 - additional sliced strawberries for serving

# Detailed Directions:

01 - Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually incorporate the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
02 - Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream and strawberry jam into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined.
03 - Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Pour 60 milliliters of batter, swirling to coat the surface evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until edges curl and bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for 1-2 more minutes until golden.
04 - Place each crepe flat on a plate. Spread a generous portion of the cream cheese filling over the surface. Arrange sliced strawberries on top. Fold crepe in half or roll tightly.
05 - Dust crepes with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately with extra sliced strawberries on the side.

# Helpful Advice:

01 - Chilling the batter for at least 30 minutes is essential for tender crepes.
02 - Use a blender to achieve a smoother batter, if preferred.
03 - Adjust the powdered sugar in the filling to suit your sweetness preference.
04 - Other berries can be substituted for strawberries.
