Fruit-Filled Crepes
This dessert or special brunch dish is great for entertaining because it can be made in advance and popped in the oven just before serving. Strawberry-rhubarb filling is a lovely salute to the season and is also delicious as a topping for ice cream.
Prep Time:
40 mins
Total Time:
1 hr 15 mins
Servings:
8 servings, 2 crepes each
Ingredients
-
16 Whole-Wheat, Buckwheat or Cornmeal Crepes, (recipe follows)
-
1/2 cup Vanilla Cream, (recipe follows) or 1 cup low-fat vanilla ice cream
-
2 1/2 cups Strawberry-Rhubarb Filling, (recipe follows)
-
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Directions
1.
Prepare crepe batter. While it is resting, drain yogurt for Vanilla Cream, if using, and make filling.
2.
Finish crepe batter and cook crepes.
3.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread about 2 tablespoons filling over one half of the less-attractive side of each crepe. Fold the unfilled side over the filling, then fold the crepe in half to make a fan shape. Overlap the crepes slightly in the prepared baking dish.
4.
Cover the crepes with foil and bake until heated through, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, finish the Vanilla Cream, if making. Dust the crepes with sugar and serve with Vanilla Cream (or ice cream).

Basic Crepe Recipe
I like to have at least two pans going at once, but you can certainly make these one at a time. This recipe fits in a regular-size blender. If you want to double it, make two separate batches or follow the directions for hand mixing. You'll need some waxed paper for stacking the finished crepes.
