Dessert Crepes with Strawberry Cream Filling

HeliWif's Note:

Yummy!! This recipe will knock the socks off any guest! This recipe my mother originally found out of a cookbook, but unfortunately I do not know which. This works well with both frozen and fresh strawberries. I'd imagine almost any fruit could be substituted as well. (Prep time does not include chilling of strawberries).

8. Pour about 1/8 C of batter into pan, tilting to spread evenly.
9. When the crepe has turned a light brown color you may or may not want to turn to brown other side.

These are incredible! I found that they tasted even better the next day.

yum yum! did a trail run for Fathers Day and my husband loved it! I added more sugar to the strawberry cream only because our strawberries were not sweet enough. Spread a strip of Nutella (chocolate-hazelnut spread) then the strawberry cream, folded the crepe, topped with fresh berries and it was "better than store-bought". Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

I made these this morning for breakfast, like IHOP. They were sooo good! My kids loved 'em as did I and I had my sister over to try them out on her. I got nothing but positive feedback. I will definately be making them again. I couldn't believe how easy they were to make, too.
