Strawberry Crepes Ingredients

4 eggs, room temperature
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 1/4 cups milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 8-ounce jar Bonne Maman INTENSE Strawberry Fruit Spread

How to Make Strawberry Crepes

Grease a medium skillet with cooking spray and preheat over medium heat.
In a blender, combine eggs, melted butter, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth but don’t overmix.
Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter into the center of the skillet. Quickly lift and tilt the pan to evenly coat the bottom with a thin layer of batter.
Cook for 30 seconds, until the edges begin to bubble and the surface appears matte. Flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Transfer crepes to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Whip the heavy cream in a stand mixer until soft peaks form.
To assemble, spread whipped cream and Bonne Maman INTENSE Strawberry Fruit Spread over one side of each crepe. Fold into thirds and serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or maple syrup.

How to Customize These Strawberry Crepes for Your Diet

Low calorie: Replace heavy cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter topping.
Keto-friendly: Swap flour for almond flour and sweetener for low-carb erythritol.
Vegan: Use flax eggs and coconut milk instead of eggs and dairy milk.
Nut-free: Ensure your flour substitute is nut-free (like oat or rice flour).
Gluten-free: Choose a certified gluten-free 1:1 flour replacement.

Our Team’s Tips for the Best Strawberry Crepes

Avoid overmixing: Blend just until the batter is smooth to prevent air bubbles.
Use a nonstick skillet: This prevents sticking and tearing for perfect crepes every time.
Go thin: Less batter per crepe ensures the ideal light, tender texture.
Keep warm: Stack crepes between parchment and keep warm in a low oven until serving.
Make ahead: Store cooked crepes in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for later use.
