Ingredients
  

Crepe Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • Pinch of salt

Vanilla Cream Filling

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz mascarpone or cream cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 tbsp powdered sugar optional

Fruit and Garnish

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Optional raspberry coulis
  • Optional melted chocolate
  • Optional mint leaves

Optional Flavor Boosters

  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp raspberry juice raspberry syrup, or a little extra coulis in place of raspberry liqueur

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Heat a lightly buttered nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour in a thin layer of batter and swirl to coat the pan evenly.
  • Cook each crepe for 1 to 2 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook briefly on the other side until lightly golden. Stack the cooked crepes and cover to keep warm.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, mascarpone, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar if using, until soft peaks form.
  • To assemble the Raspberry Vanilla Cream Crepes, spoon or pipe the vanilla cream onto each crepe and top with fresh raspberries.
  • Fold or roll the crepes, then dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with raspberry coulis or melted chocolate if desired.
  • Garnish with mint leaves and serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.

Notes

These crepes are best assembled just before serving so the filling stays light and the crepes remain tender. You can serve them with extra raspberries, strawberry slices, or blueberries for more color and flavor. For a richer dessert-style finish, add a drizzle of dark chocolate. For a lighter brunch presentation, keep the garnish simple with powdered sugar and fresh mint.
