Description: My hubby is a crepe fanatic. If I hear him banging around in the kitchen during breakfast time I can be sure he's making some form of crepes. This recipe is sweet, zesty, and full of flavor. Use any sort of berry you like. Strawberries are my favorite.


Ingredients
2 oz cream cheese, softened 
1/2 cup sour cream  
2 Tbsp packed brown sugar
1 Tbsp packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp orange zest
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1. Make or buy 8 crepes. Have them pre-made and nice and warm.

2. With a mixer beat the cream cheese, sour cream, 2 Tbsp of the brown sugar, orange zest, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well-blended.

3. Divide the cream cheese mixture among the crepes. Divide 2 cups of the strawberries between the crepes and place strawberries over the cream mixture. Fold each crepe in half, then in half again. Arrange on serving plate.

4. For the sauce: In a food processor or blender, puree 3/4 cup of the remaining strawberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar, lemon zest, and orange zest. Fold in the remaining 1/4 cup strawberries.

5. Drizzle the strawberry sauce over the crepes.
