    Why You Will Love this Recipe

    Despite their "fancy" vibe, Fresh Strawberry Crepes are super easy to make, and most of the work can be done ahead of time.

    These light, airy crepes are perfect for special occasions: birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Mid-Summer Back-Porch Sittin' Day. (I may have made that last one up). 

    I was so tickled when one of my daughter's made Fresh Strawberry Crepes for me for Mother's Day a few years ago! In her version, she used plain whipped cream on the top, plus a little chocolate syrup for flare.

    The only real challenge these creamy Fresh Strawberry Crêpes present is one of self-control: just try to not eat all the fresh strawberry cream before you assemble the crêpes!

    How to Make Fresh Strawberry Creme

    In a blender or food processor, puree 1 cup of the sliced strawberries with about ¼ cup heavy cream. Set aside. The remaining sliced strawberries will be used inside and on top of the crepes.

    whipped cream in a large mixing bowl.

    Using an electric mixer, whip the remaining 1¾ cups heavy cream until it begins to form soft peaks. Mix in the sugar until medium-stiff peaks begin to form. Turn mixture on LOW and stir in pureed strawberries. 

    Refrigerate strawberry crème until you are ready to assemble crêpes.

    FAQs & Expert Tips

    Crêpes: Homemade or Ready-Made

    Crepes can easily be made ahead of time using our Basic Sweet Vanilla Crepes recipe. If you aren't up for making your own crepes, ready-made crepes are great option, too. 

    If you make your own crepes, a well-seasoned crêpe pan is the optimal tool for the job. The sides are short, making flipping a breeze, and bottom is heavy, ensuring consistent heat and even cooking.

    If you don't have a crepe pan, you can use a shallow skillet. In that case, choose a small skillet that you can easily "swirl" in one hand. The size of your pan will determine how big your crepes turn out: seven or eight inches is standard. 

    Crepes can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to two months.

    Crêpes are ready to flip when the edges are just beginning to turn brown and the batter in the middle is no longer glossy or wet looking. Usually about a minute to a minute and a half. 

    Use a rubber spatula to loosen the edges, and then gently flip the crêpe. Allow it to cook an additional 30 seconds to a minute.

    Flip the crêpe by lifting the edges with the spatula, then peel it up carefully with my fingers and flip it over in one fluid motion. If you use this method, be sure to keep your fingers off the hot pan!

      I love crepes, but have never made them because I thought they looked hard and I would just have a bunch of torn pancakes in a pile on my plate!

        They are super-easy, Pech! In some ways, I think they are easier than pancakes! Half the time, I don't even flip them because they cook all the way through from one side. If I do that, I just put the "uncooked" side in when I fold them. No one ever notices the difference.

        These Sweet Vanilla Crepes are amazing by themselves too, with just a little fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar sprinkled on top.

      YUM! I'm not sure why, but I've never made my own crepes. This recipe looks fantastic -- a great way to use fresh Oregon berries! Thanks, Renee!

      I have wonderful memories of picking blackberries with my dearest cousin, braving the brambles and getting all scratched in pursuit of the plumpest, ripest ones. We then went home, where he made us all crepes with fresh berries inside. Thank you for the reminder—and inspiration to make some again!

      Those looks sooooo delicious. This is a tough time of year for me because I am allergic to strawberries - maybe I'll try it with raspberries instead? Though, those look good enough to tough through an allergic reaction for! Thanks for sharing!

        I am positive that these would be fabulous with raspberries. Only a few more weeks and we can both try it out!

      That looks so good! And a yummy way to use a few of the best strawberry harvest I've ever had. What is the best tool to use to flatten the crepe while it's cooking?

      Reply
      • Renée ♥ says

        June 09, 2014 at 3:40 pm

        Thanks, Dena! You don't actually "flatten" the crepe - you swirl the batter immediately after you pour it into the pan. You need to raise the pan off the burner a little to do this, but it works really well. Some people use spreaders for their crepes but I've never had much luck with that method. Swirling works fine for me!
