Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Servings: 4 (about 8 crepes)

Ingredients

For the Crepes

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

½ cup whole milk

½ cup water

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

¼ tsp salt

1 tbsp granulated sugar

For the Lemon Cream Filling

8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened

½ cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

¼ cup powdered sugar

3 tbsp lemon curd

1 tsp lemon zest

For the Blueberry Core

1 cup fresh blueberries

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

½ tsp cornstarch

For Garnish

2 tbsp toasted sliced almonds

Extra fresh blueberries

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, salt, and sugar until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes.

Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about ¼ cup batter into the pan and swirl quickly to coat the surface evenly.

Cook each crepe for 1–2 minutes until the edges lift slightly, then flip and cook another 30–60 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.

In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries soften and release juices.

Stir in cornstarch and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

In another bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, lemon curd, and lemon zest until smooth.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until light and fluffy.

Lay a crepe flat, spread a layer of lemon cream, and add a spoonful of blueberry filling along the center. Roll or fold the crepe neatly.

Arrange on a serving plate and garnish with toasted almonds, fresh blueberries, powdered sugar, and mint leaves. Serve immediately.

Tips

Resting the batter helps create soft, flexible crepes.

Keep the heat moderate to avoid browning too much.

Thin crepes work best for rolling and filling.

Always cool the blueberry filling before assembling.

Fold whipped cream gently to keep the texture airy.

Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor.

Lightly grease the pan between batches if needed.

Stack crepes and cover them to keep them soft.

Adjust sweetness based on your taste.

Serve fresh for the best texture and presentation.

Variations

Swap blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, or mixed berries.

Use orange curd instead of lemon for a different citrus flavor.

Add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce.
