There's no better way to take a regular crepe over the top then this amazing Strawberry Crepes recipe with a creamy whipped filling and fresh strawberries. They're easy to make and perfect for a fancy breakfast or dessert!
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender if needed. Refrigerate batter for 30 minutes. (Recommended, but not required).
Heat a large non-stick skillet to medium heat. When skillet is hot, lightly grease it with a little butter or cooking spray.
Hold the handle of the skillet and as you pour a few tablespoons of batter in, tilt the skillet around in a circular motion to allow the batter to evenly coat the bottom of the pan, in a thin layer.
Cook for 30 seconds-1 minutes or until the edges of the crepe curl slightly and the bottom of the crepe is lightly golden. Flip to the other side and cook for another 30 seconds.
(Adjust your heat between medium-medium high until your crepes are cooking in about 30 seconds on each side. Re-grease your pan every few crepes, as needed.)
Remove crepe to a plate. Add more crepes to the plate as you cook them, and cover the plate to keep them warm.
For the Filling:
In a small bowl mix blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until for 2 minutes.
In another mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and 3 tablespoons powdered sugar on high speed until stiff peaks.
Spoon most of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and fold in until smooth. Reserve a little bit of whipped cream for topping on the crepes, if desired.
Spoon a thin layer of the filling onto a crepe. Add some fresh strawberries on top and then roll it up.
Serve dusted with powdered sugar, extra strawberries and whipped cream, if desired.

Notes
Make Ahead Instructions: The crepe batter can be made 1 day in advance, stored covered in the fridge. You can also make the cream filling 1 day in advance and slice the strawberries and store them separately in the fridge. Cooked crepes will keep in the fridge, covered well, for 2-3 days.Recipe Variations:
Fruit - Add any of your favorite fruit you have on hand, we especially love to add raspberries, blackberries, and bananas.
Nutella Strawberry Crepes - Spread on a layer of Nutella before adding the whipped cream filling and strawberries, or skip the whipped cream filling and just use Nutella if you prefer.
Savory Crepes: Leave out the vanilla and some of the sugar and fill them with a creamy chicken mixture or even eggs and ham for a breakfast crepe.
