Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to create these delightful berry-filled crepes:

For the crepes:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1¼ cups milk (whole milk preferred)
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

For the filling & topping:

1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
½ cup fresh raspberries
1 cup whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
Powdered sugar, for dusting

How to Make Berry Cream Crepes

Step 1: Prepare the Crepe Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let it rest for 15–30 minutes (this helps the flour hydrate and creates tender crepes).

Tip: Want to save time? Prepare the batter the night before and refrigerate it overnight.

Step 2: Cook the Crepes

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 1–2 minutes until the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds.

Transfer the cooked crepes to a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm.

Step 3: Fill the Crepes

Spoon a line of whipped cream down the center of each crepe and add sliced strawberries. Gently roll up the crepe and place seam-side down on a serving platter.

Step 4: Decorate and Serve

Top the rolled crepes with additional whipped cream, a few raspberries, and dust generously with powdered sugar for a stunning finish.

Tips for Perfect Crepes Every Time

Use a blender for a super-smooth batter.
Let the batter rest – it improves texture and elasticity.
Keep it thin – pour just enough batter to coat the pan in a thin layer.
Don’t overfill – a small amount of filling goes a long way.

Variations to Try

Want to make this recipe your own? Here are some fun variations:

Lemon Berry Crepes: Add 1 tsp of lemon zest to the batter and serve with lemon whipped cream.
Chocolate Crepes: Add 1 tbsp cocoa powder to the batter and fill with Nutella and strawberries.

Savory Option: Skip the sugar and vanilla in the batter and fill with ricotta and spinach for a savory twist.

Can You Make Crepes Ahead of Time?

Yes! You can make the crepes a day or two in advance and store them in the fridge stacked with parchment paper between each one. Warm them slightly before serving, then fill and top as desired.
