Before you get started

Before diving in, make sure your eggs and milk are at room temperature for a smoother batter.

Letting the crepe batter rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour is essential, since it helps the flour fully hydrate and gives you delicate, tender crepes.

Have your skillet or crepe pan ready and lightly greased, and keep your filling prepared so you can roll and serve the crepes while they’re still warm.

With just a little prep, you’ll be ready to whip up a dish that feels like it came straight from a café.

Making Strawberry Cream Cheese Crepes is easier than you might think. The batter blends together in minutes and chills to develop the perfect texture.

Once rested, it cooks into thin, golden crepes that are soft and flexible for rolling. The filling is a creamy mixture of sweetened cream cheese folded with juicy strawberries, giving you a cheesecake-like flavor wrapped inside a delicate crepe.

Ingredients

4 eggs
2 cups milk
1 1/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar

Filling

2 cups strawberries, chopped
1/2 cup sugar
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Step-by-step instructions to make Strawberry Cream Cheese Crepes

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, milk, flour, salt, sugar, vanilla, and oil. Blend until smooth. Cover and refrigerate the batter for about 1 hour so it can rest and thicken slightly.

Step 2

When ready to cook, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.

Step 3

Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, quickly tilting it so the batter spreads evenly to coat the bottom. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden. Turn the crepe over and let it cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until lightly golden. Continue with the remaining batter, stacking crepes on a plate as you go.

Step 4

For the filling, stir the chopped strawberries and granulated sugar together in a small bowl and let them sit while you prepare the cream cheese mixture.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Fold the strawberry mixture into the cream cheese filling until evenly combined.

Step 6

To assemble, place 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling down the center of each crepe. Roll them up or fold them into quarters. Serve with extra sliced strawberries and whipped cream if desired.

Variations

Chocolate drizzle crepes: Add a drizzle of warm melted chocolate or chocolate sauce over the filled crepes for a dessert-style treat that pairs beautifully with the cream cheese and strawberries.

Berry medley crepes: Instead of just strawberries, fold in a mixture of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries for a colorful and tangy twist.

Nutty crunch crepes: Sprinkle toasted sliced almonds or chopped hazelnuts inside the filling or on top of the crepes for a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.

How to store

At room temperature

Crepes are best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to hold them for a short time, keep them covered at room temperature for up to 2 hours. This prevents them from drying out before serving.

In the refrigerator

Store leftover crepes or assembled Strawberry Cream Cheese Crepes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a skillet over low heat or microwave in short bursts until just warmed through.

In the freezer

Plain crepes can be frozen for up to 2 months. Place parchment paper between each crepe, then store them in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then warm before filling. It’s best to make the filling fresh rather than freezing it, since cream cheese mixtures can change texture once thawed.

Frequently asked questions

Is it possible to prepare the crepe batter in advance?

Yes, the batter can be prepared the night before and kept in the refrigerator. Just give it a quick whisk before cooking to make sure everything is well combined.

What if I don’t have a blender?

No problem, you can whisk the ingredients together by hand in a large mixing bowl. Just make sure there are no lumps so the crepes cook up smooth and thin.

Can I prepare the filling in advance?

Absolutely, the cream cheese filling can be made up to a day ahead. Keep it covered in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the crepes.
