Ingredients

For sauce:

  • 2 c. sliced strawberries
  • 2-3 tbsp. sugar

For crepes:

  • 4 eggs
  • 11/2 c. milk
  • 3/4 c. water
  • 2 c. flour
  • 6 tbsp. melted butter slightly cooled
  • 1/4 c. sugar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/3 c. pureed strawberries
  • 2 tbsp. cocoa powder

For filling:

  • 1 c. very cold heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp. powdered sugar
  • 6 oz. Mascarpone cheese at room temperature
  • Optional garnish: chocolate sauce

Instructions

For sauce:

  • In a medium bowl, combine strawberries and sugar. Allow to macerate for about 20-30 minutes.

For crepes:

  • In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, water, flour, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla. Whisk vigorously until smooth.
  • Divide the crepe batter evenly into 3 bowls. One of the bowls will be vanilla crepes and won't need additional ingredients. Set it aside.
  • Add 1/3 c. pureed strawberries to one of the remaining bowls, and whisk til smooth.
  • Add 2 tbsp. cocoa powder to the last remaining bowl, and whisk til smooth.
  • You'll have a bowl for vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate crepes. Each will make about 4 crepes.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, pour about 1/3-1/2 c. batter, covering the entire bottom of the pan in a thin layer.
  • Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the top looks mostly cooked too, even before flipping. Carefully (it will be thin and delicate) flip the crepe over, and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Remove crepe from pan, and continue making crepes with remaining batters.

For filling:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until it forms soft peaks, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Fold the Mascarpone into the heavy cream mixture.

To assemble:

  • Spread a small amount of Mascarpone filling on each crepe. Fold the crepes into quarters.
  • Arrange one vanilla, one strawberry, and one chocolate crepe onto each plate.
  • Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop a tablespoonful of Mascarpone on top of each crepe.
  • Serve with fresh strawberry sauce and a drizzle of chocolate sauce, if desired.
