Blueberry Cream Cheese Crepes

Crepes vs Pancakes

They share similar ingredients, which is why you can makecrepes with pancake mix. However, crepes like my blintz recipe and blueberry dutch baby does not contain any leavening agents. This allows them to remain very very thin and stay soft and pliable. Pancakes are thick and fluffy, and when folded will usually break in half.

They are very similar in that they can be made savory or sweet, and come with an array of toppings. If folding them up and biting into a sweet filling is your jam, then blueberry crepes are for you!

Crepe Ingredients

You will love how simple this blueberry crepes recipe is to make! It is loaded with all the flavors and looks beautiful with large purple blueberries hidden inside. These pantry staple ingredients are all you need to make perfect crepes every time!

Find the fullprintable recipewith specific measurements below.

• Milk:I like to use 2% as it’s thick enough to add richness but it’s not too thick.
• Eggs:Used as a binding agent. The same way they’re used in pancakes.
• Salted butter, melted:In this case, I opt for salted butter because it helps to balance the sweetness, but you can use unsalted butter if you prefer. Allow the melted butter to cool slightly before using it.
• Sugar:Added for sweetness. Leaving it out would be necessary if we were making chicken crepes or something savory!
• Vanilla:Delicious flavor enhancer that elevates all of the other ingredients.
• Salt:Just a bit more than the butter delivers for bringing out all of the other surrounding flavors.
• All-purpose flour:The foundation of the entire batch of crepes!

Cream Cheese Filling

Blueberry Sauce for Crepes

The crepes are finished off with a homemade blueberry sauce (aka blueberry compote) made with juicy blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, water, and cornstarch. This sauce is a great way to showcase your fresh blueberries just like in my fresh blueberry muffins! However, if they’re not in season, go ahead and use frozen blueberries.

The granulated sugar will dissolve once boiled in the sauce and adds a wonderful sweetness to what could be a slightly tart sauce. A bright burst of citrus from the lemon is always a welcome addition to any fruit sauce to liven it up. Cornstarch is the thickening agent used to turn the runny consistency into a slightly sturdier, blueberry jam sauce.

How to Make Blueberry Crepes

Simply combine all the ingredients for crepes into one blender. Let the blender mix together. Cook in a skillet or crepe pan then create the blueberry filling. This filling is heavenly and adds all the flavor to this easy blueberry crepes recipe!

1. Combine ingredients for the batter.In a blender, add all of the blender ingredients and mix them until the batter is smooth.
2. Heat an 8″ frying pan over medium-low heat.Make sure to spray with a nonstick cooking spray to avoid the crepe sticking to the pan. Once that happens, it’s automatically ruined because of how delicate they are. By ruined I mean we’re totally going to eat them anyway.
3. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the panand immediately tilt it around so that the batter spreads evenly in a thin layer across the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until nicely golden. Set it aside and continue until you have no more batter.
4. Make the whipped cream cheese filling.In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, or a mixing bowl with beaters, whip the filling ingredients until smooth.
5. Boil ingredients for the blueberry sauce.In a medium saucepan, combine sauce ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened. Keep in mind it will continue to thicken as it cools.
6. Assemble the blueberry crepes.Lay each crepe down flat. Spread some of the cream cheese mixture down the center and top it with blueberry sauce. Either fold the crepes in half or roll them up gently to eat and enjoy!

Recipe Tips for Blueberry Crepes

Take your crepes to the next level with these helpful tips! It is so simple to make crepes but little changes and easy ideas will make your homemade blueberry crepes taste even better!

• Always use a non-stick skillet. Even with this, you’ll want to use a spray or melted butter to help you flip the crepes and slide them out without them falling apart.
• Rest your crepe batter for at least 30 minutes. You can also leave it in the fridge overnight. It’s kind of nice to prepare it the night before and have it ready in the morning.
• You don’t have to use up all your crepes. You may find you have lots left over. Save them and use a different filling next time for an entirely different breakfast or dessert idea!
• Have other options available. Decadent blueberry crepes are amazing as is, but it’s always nice to have some staples on the table. Warm homemade maple syrup, powdered sugar, lemon zest or some extra fresh blueberries for those that don’t want the sauce.
