or non-stick skillet over medium heat, spray with light coating
of non stick spray. Pour approximately 1/8 cup of batter in center
of pan,* tilt the pan so the batter spreads evenly on bottom
of pan. Cook until edges lift easily from pan. Use spatula to
flip crepe over; heat one additional minute. Remove from pan,
and repeat until all batter is used. Stack crepes between layers
of wax paper. (Crepes can be made the day before and stored in
an air tight container in refrigerator.)
- For Filling: In small
bowl, mix whipped cream cheese and powdered sugar until blended.
- Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons
of cream cheese mixture on to one half of each crepe,** spoon
1/3 cup of canned fruit filling. Fold crepe in quarters.

servings. Prep /Cook time: 30 minutes.
*Tip: you may adjust the thinness of the
crepes by adding more or less batter to pan. By using blender,
you can pour directly from blender into skillet. Remember to
lightly spray between each crepe.
**Tip: For a more decorative touch, you
can use a decorating bag and pipe the cream cheese mixture into
the folds of the crepe.
