Strawberries and Cream Crepes with Orange Liqueur

What You'll Need

Macerated Strawberries and Cream:

• two cups strawberries, washed and divided
• two tablespoons natural sweetener or sugar of choice
• one - two tablespoons Cointreau (adjust to your tastes)
• one and one half cups reduced fat cooking cream (Philadelphia) or Greek yogurt
• two tablespoons (extra) sugar or sweetener of choice
• two teaspoon vanilla extract

Crepes

• three large eggs
• two tablespoons oil/ (or reduced fat butter, melted)
• one teaspoon vanilla extract
• two tablespoons sugar
• one and one quarter cup skim/low fat or almond milk
• one cup plain; light spelt or all-purpose flour

How to Make It

For strawberries.

1. Cut the strawberries into quarters.
2. Combine the strawberries into a bowl with the sweetener or sugar and Cointreau, and mix to coat evenly and set aside for 15 minutes.
3. While strawberries are soaking up the liqueur, prepare your crepes

For Crepes:

4. Option one: Throw all Crepes ingredients into a Bullet or Blender and blend until batter is lump free and creamy.
5. Option two: Whisk eggs, oil/butter, vanilla, sugar and milk until light in colour.
6. Add the flour and whisk again until batter is lump free.
7. Grease a good quality 8-inch non-stick pan with cooking oil (or a thin layer of butter) and wipe over with a paper towel.
8. Pour ¼ cup of batter per crepe onto the center of pan, while swirling and lifting the pan to evenly coat the base and create a thin layer.
9. Cook until the crepe is set and the edges begin to change golden in colour.
10. Gently peel the edges away from the pan (I use my fingers but a spatula will do the trick) and flip to cook the underside for a further 20-30 seconds.
11. When cooked through, remove onto a separate plate and repeat with remaining batter.

For Strawberries And Cream:

12. Once the Crepes are done, combine the cream/yogurt, the (extra) sweetener/sugar, and the vanilla.
13. Chop half of the the macerated strawberries into smaller pieces (optional) and mix through the cream mix until just combined.
14. Spread the Strawberries And Cream mixture onto a quarter of each crepe and fold in half, and then in half again.
15. Stack them; top with remaining macerated strawberries and dust with icing sugar.
