Strawberry & Lemon Cream Crepes
Some of you may remember that I was kinda late to the crepes game. I don’t ever remember eating crepes when I was growing up, although, I had heard of them. When I first started blogging, it seemed like everyone was making crepes and they all looked so beautiful and sounded almost like having a dessert for breakfast.
If you’ve read Love Bakes Good Cakes for awhile, you may recall that I made my very first crepes recipe back in March of 2014 … Banana Fluffernutter Crepes. They were a combination of some of my favorite things – bananas, chocolate, marshmallow cream and peanut butter. Since that first attempt, I have made quite a few varieties – all of them being on the sweet side.
I haven’t tried a savory variety of crepes yet, and I think that says something about me. I obviously like my sweets. A lot. Making a savory version of crepes is on my list of things to do this year …. just so ya know!
A great addition to breakfast
These Strawberry & Lemon Cream Crepes would make a great addition to a weekend breakfast …. and they could easily be served as a dessert too! My first thought when I made these crepes, was that they would be perfect for Mother’s Day … that is coming up soon, ya know?!

These Strawberry & Lemon Cream Crepes make a great breakfast or dessert! Easy and delicious recipe!
Ingredients
For the crepes
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 8 tsp. butter
For the filling
- 1/2 cup lemon curd
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- Chopped strawberries
For the garnish
- Additional Lemon Cream Sauce
- Additional strawberries
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the milk and eggs. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the milk mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
- In an 8-in. nonstick skillet, melt 1 tsp. butter over medium heat. Pour 2-3 tbsp. of the batter into the center of the pan. Lift and tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly with the batter. Cook until the top appears dry, carefully turn with a spatula and cook an additional 15-20 seconds longer. Remove the crepe to a wire rack. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding butter to the skillet as needed.
- Place the lemon curd and heavy whipping cream in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
To serve:
Top each crepe with lemon cream sauce and chopped strawberries. Roll up and carefully place on a plate. Add a dollop of lemon cream sauce. Top a sliced strawberry, if desired.
To store crepes:
Once the crepes have cooled, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels between them. Refrigerate and use within 2-3 days. Fill with desired filling.

Jamie,
I am late to the crepe world too. I never had them growing up and still have never made any, but I do love to eat them. I say often that lemon is one of my favorite flavors and these Strawberry Lemon Crepes looks creamy and amazing.

I LOVE crepes – grew up on them ! Sometimes for breakfast and other times for dessert 🙂 Love your version, very Springy !
Pinned this the other day ! Definitely on my list before we have no more strawberries 🙂
These crepes look fabulous! It's been a very long time since I've made them, but this makes me want to run to the kitchen and do just that- yum! Pinned!
I've only made crepes once in my life, but these look so perfect!! Need to try. 🙂
Why why why have I NEVER made crepes at home? These look phenomenal!
I have to totally agree Jamie as needed to add this reply onto Cathy's comment today as there was no other way to comment on your crepes that look yummy!
Great choice for our 12 blogger week! Love crepes!!
Wow, these look incredible! So gourmet and beautiful. I know my family would love these. I definitely need to add them to our list for breakfast. Maybe a great Mother's Day idea!
Oh, these look incredible! Yummy!
These would be perfect for a Mother's Day brunch!! Strawberry and lemon sound so refreshing and summery!!
I'm with you on sweet over savory! Crepes are definitely fun and they've been a great girl's night in for me before!
I always feel so "fancy" eating crepes. 🙂 These look awesome!
I'm crazy about crepes– I'm just scared to make them. I think I will burn them if I do make them. However, these look so good!
Oh man. These sound so amazing!
I love strawberry anything! I will definitely have to pin this for later. Those look so yum!
I love crepes! The lemon cream looks amazing!
These look gorgeous! We love crepes in this house. I have a crepe maker I found for $3 at a thrift store. I first learned about crepes in French class in high school. My teacher would bring her crepe maker, a batch of batter, and Nutella. We'd chow down for the whole class.
I love crepes and have not made them in so long. These sound so delicious!
I've always wanted to learn how to make crepes. You make it look so easy!
These crepes are exactly what I want for Mother's Day breakfast!! On my way to show the hubby your recipe to get my wish:)))
