When it comes to sweet breakfast food, strawberry crepes are hard to beat. They’re the thin alternative to pancakes, where the fillings and toppings take the spotlight.

In this recipe, the stars of the show are fresh strawberries and a sweet cream cheese filling. Together, they give this breakfast an almost-cheesecake flavor, without the density.

This dish is perfect for breakfast, but it also works well for brunch or even as a dessert. What’s great about this recipe is that you can customize it with whatever fruits you like, add different sweet sauces, and easily scale it up without heavy-duty math.

Strawberry Crepes Recipe Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 1 1/3 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 of teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of vegetable oil
  • 2 cups of strawberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • Extra sliced strawberries, for topping
  • Extra powdered sugar, for dusting

Strawberry Crepes Recipe Instructions

  1. In a blender, add the eggs, milk, flour, salt, sugar, vanilla, and vegetable oil. Blend until smooth. This is the batter.
  2. Cover the batter and chill it in the fridge for about 1 hour. This helps the crepes cook better and keeps the texture soft.
  3. While the batter rests, mix the chopped strawberries with 1/2 cup sugar. Set them aside so they can release some juice.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Fold the sweetened strawberries into the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a little oil.
  7. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the pan. Tilt the pan so the batter spreads into a thin, even layer.
  8. Cook until the bottom is lightly golden, then flip and cook the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  9. Spoon 2 tablespoons of strawberry cream cheese filling into each crepe and roll.
  10. Top with sliced strawberries, whipped cream, and a light dusting of powdered sugar.
