These Strawberry & Lemon Cream Crepes make a great breakfast or dessert! Easy and delicious recipe!
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 …. 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!
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?!

Strawberry & Lemon Cream Crepes
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.

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!
