Strawberry Crepes with Pastry Cream and Fresh Strawberries
These Strawberry Crepes are filled with a homemade pastry cream, fresh strawberries, topped with a delicious strawberry sauce, more strawberries and whipped cream.
This month has been strawberry season in our area, and I have been getting them every few days from our local farm stand. I have made so many desserts, smoothies, and loaded my freezer with them.
A few days ago, I was craving crepes and decided to try to make them myself. They were so delicious. My husband does not eat anything sweet, but after he tried one, he was hooked. He actually ate 3 that day.
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE:
* Prepare the pastry cream first. Refrigerate for about 2 hours prior to using. The cream mixture will be very thick. Stir well before using.
* Make the strawberry sauce. I use a combination of frozen and fresh strawberries. It can be served warm or cold.
* Mix up the crepe batter and cook the crepes. They can be placed on a parchment lined baking sheet while you are cooking them all. The crepes can be warmed up one at a time in the microwave, then assembled, or kept warm on the lowest temperature in the oven before serving.
* To assemble, Place a crepe on a microwave safe plate. (Best side down) Warm in microwave for 15 seconds. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the pastry cream down the center. Make sure it goes from end to end. Slice 1 strawberry in thin slices and lay on the filling. Fold each half over the filling. Roll crepe and put seam on the bottom. Top with desired amount of strawberry sauce. Add fresh strawberries and top with whipped topping.
Strawberry Crepes are perfect to serve for brunch or as a dessert.
