Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups blackberries
- 2 packages (8 oz/226 g) cream cheese
- 2 cups milk (473 ml)
- 1 cup flour (120 g)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup sugar (100 g)
- 2 tbsps sugar (25 g)
- 1 box (3.4 oz/96 g) lemon instant pudding and pie filling
- 1 can (5 oz/142 ml) evaporated milk
- 1 tbsp butter, melted (14 g)
- ¾ cup lemonade concentrate (177 ml)
- 3 tbsps lemon juice (45 ml)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (5 ml)
- 3 tsp corn starch (6 g)
- 7 tbsps water, divided (105 ml)
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- Batter Preparation: Whisk eggs in a medium mixing bowl, then blend in sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, milk, flour, and melted butter until smooth and lump-free.
- Cooking Surface: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly greasing with cooking spray or butter to prevent adhesion.
- Crepe Formation: Pour batter into the pan, swirling to create a thin, uniform layer covering the entire bottom surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges turn golden and crisp, then delicately flip to cook the reverse side.
- Filling Creation: Whip cream cheese until fluffy, then fold in lemonade concentrate. Separately blend lemon pudding mix with evaporated milk until thick and creamy. Combine both mixtures to create a silky, tangy filling.
- Blackberry Compote: In a saucepan, merge blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Bring to a gentle boil, create a cornstarch slurry, and incorporate into the mixture. Simmer and occasionally mash berries until the sauce thickens and develops an intense flavor.
- Assembly: Lay each crepe flat, spread a layer of lemonade cream cheese filling, spoon blackberry compote along the center, and roll carefully. Position seam-side down on the serving plate.
- Finishing Touch: Dust with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Whisk with Precision: Ensure smooth, lump-free batter by whisking ingredients thoroughly in a medium bowl, blending from eggs to melted butter in a consistent motion.
- Master Pan Temperature: Use medium heat and light coating of spray or butter to prevent sticking and achieve golden, crisp crepe edges without burning.
- Perfect Crepe Technique: Tilt and rotate pan immediately after pouring batter to create thin, even layer, cooking 1-2 minutes per side for delicate texture.
- Filling Consistency Matters: Whip cream cheese until light, fold lemonade concentrate carefully, and blend pudding mix smoothly to create a silky, tangy filling that spreads easily.
