Raspberries & Cream Crepes

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it uses simple pantry ingredients to create a beautiful and impressive dish. The crepes are soft and tender, while the raspberries add freshness and a burst of natural sweetness. The Biscoff spread brings a caramelized flavor that pairs wonderfully with the fruit and cream. I also appreciate that these crepes can be customized with different fruits and toppings depending on what I have available.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Crepes

• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons melted butter

For Assembling

• 9 tablespoons Biscoff spread
• 2 cups raspberries
• 1 recipe whipped cream (about half used)
• Powdered sugar, for garnish

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, I whisk together the water, milk, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
2. I add the flour, sugar, and salt, then whisk until the batter is completely smooth. I can also blend the ingredients in a blender for an extra silky batter.
3. I heat a crepe pan or an 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat and lightly brush it with melted butter.
4. I pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and immediately swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
5. I cook the crepe for about 20 seconds until the edges begin to set.
6. I loosen the edges with a spatula, flip the crepe, and cook for another 10 to 15 seconds.
7. I transfer the finished crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, placing a paper towel between each crepe.
8. I spread 1 tablespoon of Biscoff spread over one half of each crepe. If needed, I warm the spread for a few seconds to make it easier to spread.
9. I arrange raspberries over half of the Biscoff-covered section.
10. I fold each crepe into quarters.
11. I top the crepes with whipped cream and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.

Variations

• I substitute strawberries or blueberries for the raspberries when I want a different fruit flavor.
• I use Nutella instead of Biscoff spread for a chocolate-hazelnut twist.
• I add sliced bananas for extra sweetness and texture.
• I drizzle melted chocolate over the finished crepes for a more decadent dessert.
• I sprinkle chopped toasted almonds or pecans on top for added crunch.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover crepes separately from the fillings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat the crepes, I warm them in a skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds per side or microwave them for 10 to 15 seconds until soft and pliable.

If the crepes have already been assembled, I keep them refrigerated and enjoy them within 1 day for the best texture and freshness.

FAQs

Can I make the crepe batter ahead of time?

Yes, I often prepare the batter a few hours ahead and keep it refrigerated until ready to cook. This can help create even more tender crepes.

Why are my crepes tearing?

I make sure the batter is smooth, the pan is properly heated, and the crepes are cooked just enough before flipping.

Can I freeze crepes?

Yes, I stack cooled crepes with parchment paper between each one and freeze them in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

What can I use instead of Biscoff spread?

I can substitute Nutella, cream cheese, fruit preserves, peanut butter, or almond butter depending on the flavor I want.

How do I keep crepes warm while cooking the batch?

I place the finished crepes on a plate covered loosely with foil or keep them in a low-temperature oven until ready to serve.
