Ingredients
  

For the Lemon Crepes

  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

For the Creme Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

For the Strawberry Pistachio Topping

  • 1 cup strawberries chopped small
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/8 cup pistachios finely crushed

Instructions
 

  • Place all of the crepe ingredients in a medium-sized blender, starting with the flour and sugar, and then adding the wet ingredients. Blend on medium speed about five minutes, or until the top of the batter becomes slightly frothy.
  • Combine all the filling ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the strawberries and 1 tablespoon of sugar in another bowl and stir to combine.
  • Heat a small, shallow pan on medium-low and grease with butter. Slowly pour batter into pan until the bottom of the pan is covered in a thin layer of batter. Let cook for two minutes, or until the bottom is a light brown. Flip the crepe and let the other side cook for another two minutes.
  • Place a crepe on a flat surface and add about a 1/3 cup of filling and spread down the center. Top with strawberries and dust with pistachios. Fold in sides and turn over so the seam is down.
  • Top with additional creme, strawberries and pistachios. Dust with powdered sugar and serve!

Notes

Feel free to get creative with your seasonal fillings! Strawberries are in season year round in California, but this base recipe lends itself to all sorts of seasonal fillings - think blackberries, peaches, even apples!
