Mixed Berry Crepes With Light Berry Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the batter: Blend the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor or blender. Add the milk, water, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract, and process until smooth. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
• For the fruit: While batter rests, hull and halve the strawberries. Toss with blackberries, sugar, and orange liqueur, if using, in a medium bowl; set aside.
• For the filling: Whisk the cheeses with the sugar, orange zest and juice, and the vanilla extract.
• To make the crepes: Heat an 6-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat until a drop of water bounces and sizzles briefly on its surface before evaporating. Quickly pour in about 2 tablespoons of crepe batter and swirl it to coat the skillet evenly. Cook until the batter sets, about 30 seconds. Flip the crepe and cook the other side until just barely golden. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as they cook.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling on the lower left-hand corner of each crepe. Fold crepe in half, then half again to make a triangle with filling in the tip. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. Stack filled crepes neatly on serving platter (or hotel pan). (The crepes can be prepared up to this point a day ahead, covered tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight.)
• To serve: Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F. Cover crepes with foil and warm in the oven until heated through, about 10 minutes.
• Spoon the macerated berries over the crepes and serve.

Steps:

• Combine berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan set over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
• Pour water and orange juice into the mixture and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
• Raise the temperature to high heat and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes more.

Steps:

• PREPARE BERRIES:.
• Place sugar, berries and lemon juice in medium saucepan.
• Heat over medium heat, stirring gently, until mixture boils and sugar is dissolved (about 5 minutes).
• Remove from heat; allow to cool slightly.
• PREPARE CHEESE:.
• While berry mixture is cooking or cooling: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together cream cheese, honey and lemon zest until thoroughly blended; set aside.
• TO ASSEMBLE:.
• Place 2 crepes on serving plate; spoon 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture & chopped macadamia nuts, if using, down the center of each crepe.
• Spoon approximately 1/4 cup berry mixture over cream cheese.
• Fold 2 sides of each crepe up and turn over to form roll.
• Repeat with remaining crepes, cream cheese mixture and berry sauce.
• **Replace cream cheese mixture with whipped cream. Allow berry mixture to cool before assembling.

Steps:

• Cook frozen berries and maple sauce for sauce in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fruit has defrosted and mixture is gently boiling, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and mash berries with a potato masher until sauce reaches desired consistency.
• While the sauce is cooking, beat eggs in a bowl with an electric mixer until lemon colored, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in milk. Sift flour, sugar, and salt into the bowl and mix until batter is smooth.
• Grease a skillet with butter and heat over medium heat. Drop several tablespoons batter into the hot skillet and cook until light brown on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat to cook remaining crepes.
• To serve, fold crepe and place on a plate. Add a big spoonful of berry sauce and top with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Put the frozen berries, sugar, water, and vanilla into a small pot and simmer on medium heat until all of the berries break down and melt together into a sauce-like consistency. This will take about 15-20 minutes. Mix all of the dry and wet ingredients for the crepes together with a wisk until well blended and smooth. Heat a medium-sized pan to medium heat and cover the pan lightly with butter or vegetable oil. Once heated, spoon out the batter into the pan. Spread the batter out so each crepe is about palm-size and circular. Once the crepe looks lighter in color and dry/cooked, flip the crepes and do the same on the other side. You can cook until a little bit browned too, depending on what consistency you prefer. Once you finish cooking the crepes, plate them and spoon the berry mixture over each crepe and serve. You can dust with powdered sugar as well.

Steps:

• Cook over med/low heat until bubbly. Simmer 5 to 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Steps:

• In heavy saucepan combine water, sugar, cornstarch, almond extract, brandy and lemon zest, stirring to dissolve completely.
• Add frozen berries and mix well.
• Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil.
• Lower heat and simmer gently approximately 20-30 minutes until slightly thickened.
• Let cool then refrigerate.
