- Make the Crepes:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 15-20 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, swirling it around to form a thin layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
- Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Make the Cream Cheese Filling:
- In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the heavy cream, beating until the mixture becomes light and creamy. If you want a smoother filling, add more heavy cream until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the sugar (if using) and lemon juice. Toss gently and let sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their natural juices.
- Assemble the Crepes:
- Place a crepe on a plate and spread a generous spoonful of cream cheese filling down the center.
- Fold the crepe into quarters or roll it up around the filling.
- Top with the fresh strawberries and drizzle with some of the syrupy strawberry juices.
- Serve:
- Optionally, garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of honey or chocolate syrup, or even a dollop of whipped cream.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
