Tips for making Blueberry Cream Cheese Crepes
First, you’ll need to prepare the filling. Add the cream cheese and the blueberries to a large mixing bowl and whisk until the mixture forms soft peaks. Once the batter has set, you can make the crepes. You can either fold each crepe into a triangle or roll them away from the center. Then, spread the honey whipped-cream on the edges of each crepe and top with the blueberry sauce.
Next, you’ll need to combine the blueberries, lemon curd, and sugar in a small saucepan. Boil until the berries have melted, about two minutes. Remove from heat and allow the blueberries to cool. In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar. After mixing the ingredients, spread about half of the cream cheese mixture on each crepe. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Now, let’s make the batter. You can prep the blueberry compote the night before, or even several days ahead. Then, simply refrigerate until you’re ready to cook the crepes. Then, sift the flour and mix it with the other ingredients, like the ricotta. When it’s ready, use a blender to make the batter.
You can also use lemon juice to add a little something extra to the crepes. This delicious recipe features a delicious filling that’s bursting with fresh blueberries. The filling will be perfect with any type of filling. Once the batter is ready, simply use a large non-stick skillet to cook the crepes. For the best results, leave the batter to rest overnight. When it is ready to use, add the toppings.
Unlike many crepe recipes, this recipe calls for a few essential tools. The whipped cream cheese can be prepared in advance, so be sure to have some on hand. For the blueberry compote, a large non-stick skillet with a diameter of six to eight inches is ideal. A crepe pan can be used to make the crepes, but it is not necessary. If you’re serious about making crepes, you can purchase a pan that has a special shape.
How to storage leftover
You can prepare the compote ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. Then, let the blueberry compote cool to room temperature and refrigerate until you’re ready to eat. The batter can be mixed with chopped nuts, whipped cream, or blueberry syrup. If you’re making this dessert for guests, you’ll have to consider what kind of filling you’re going to use.
You can use lemon curd or blueberry preserves for this recipe. Then, add more blueberries to the whipped cream and fold in quarters. Sprinkle the crepes with whipped or sliced strawberries. It’s that easy! There’s nothing better to eat than a crepe! So enjoy! Hope you’ll be making these delicious breakfast treats soon! Yummy – If you’re feeling lazy, you can prepare these delicious pancakes in advance and freeze them for later. The blueberry sauce is great over ricotta pancakes. It’s a great idea to serve it with a cup of coffee or tea!
