Crepes aren’t just for rolling, something special happens with you layer then with cream and top them with strawberries. It creates a beautiful dessert, when you slice into it, you can see all the pretty layers.
Crepes aren’t hard to make once you get the hang of it. I’ve been making them since I was a little girl, in fact it’s probably the first thing I learned to cook! The first crepe is usually a flop, but don’t get discouraged, the rest will turn out just fine. Crepes are very special to me, my Dad always made them when I was little and he’s the one who taught me how to make them. I’ve since lightened up his recipe swapping half of the flour for whole wheat, using less egg yolks and oil, and I use Certified USDA Organic and Fair Trade Certified & non-GMO project verified cane sugar from Wholesome rather than refined white. You can find a coupon here for $1.00 off their sugar. I use real whipped cream here, I’d rather have the real stuff than processed cream. To lighten it, I fold some fat free Greek yogurt into it, the slight tang is actually lovely with the berries.
If you want to make this ahead, you can make the cream and crepes a day ahead a keep it refrigerated. Then assemble just before you’re ready to serve. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
