These Strawberry Cheesecake Crepes are a delicious combination of creamy cheesecake filling with juicy fresh strawberries and fluffy vanilla flavoured crepes, I’ll take this wake-up call any day.
The beauty of this batter. This batter…Lemme tell ya. Not only is it just amaze balls, it’s suitable for those ‘cooking half the batter today and refrigerating the rest for tomorrow’ moments. Which is perfect for us.
Or…make the whole batch and freeze a few crepes for an emergency situation. There’s always that: I’m so hungry I could eat a whole packet of biscuits plus ice cream plus anything else I can find emergency moments…but freezing these crepes ahead of time is like genius. Like calling ‘911’ or ‘000’ for that emergency hangry feeding session. You know what I mean?
I woke up craving cheesecake. I know I’m weird, but hey, at least my weirdness helps me whip up these extremely crazy creations. Actually, truth be told, I was craving my Strawberries and Cream French Toasts… Remember those? Yeah. I do too. The taste of them was so incredibly creamy, their memory is still lingering in my frontal lobe and my taste buds.
But! We were out of bread…! My whole world as I knew it was about to come crashing down.
BUT! As I was reaching for my boring old cereal…tears streaming down my face (ok…over dramatising…just a little) I saw it. I saw all my packs of flour just sitting there, all sad and lonely, begging to be opened and played with. So who am I to say no?
Then I had a knew dilemma. Didn’t want pancakes.
Didn’t want muffins.
And my mum had just been to a strawberry farm the day before and had left me with punnets and punnets of juicy organic strawberries…which as it so happens, were also calling my name.
Kariiiinaaaaaa….Kariiiiiinaaaahhhhh
Am I the only one that speaks to food? I promise, I don’t need medication. Best creation ever known to man! Whoever invented crepes is a genius. I big-time ‘I could hug him/her’ genius!
Spongy crepes. Fluffy crepes. Oh sweet Crepes…how you complete me.

Strawberry Cheesecake Crepes
Ingredients
Crepes
- 1 cup liquid egg whites or 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 oz light butter or coconut oil melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup natural sweetener or sugar of choice
- 2 cups spelt flour or substitute for plain or all purpose flour
- Coking oil spray
Filling:
- 8 oz low fat/fat free cream cheese softened
- 8 oz low fat vanilla greek yoghurt
- 1/4 cups natural sweetener or sugar of choice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups fresh strawberries sliced
Instructions
Crepes:
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites (or eggs), milk, water, butter and salt until lump free. Add in the flour and whisk again until smooth.
- Spray a medium-sized nonstick pan with cooking oil and wipe over with a paper towel
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter per crepe onto the center of pan, while swirling and lifting the pan
- to evenly coat the entire pan base.
- Cook until the crepe is set and the edges begin to change to a gold colour
- Gently peel the edges away from the pan (I use my fingers but a spatula will do the trick) and flip to cook the underside for a further 20-30 seconds
- When cooked through, remove onto a separate plate, and repeat entire process with remaining batter: (cooking spray, wipe over, pour 1/4 cup batter per crepe, etc)
- While Crepes are frying, prepare cheesecake filling:
Cheesecake Filling:
- Combine cream cheese, yoghurt, sweetener/sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth.
- Slice the strawberries ready for serving (mix the strawberries through the cream cheese mixture, or serve separately onto serving plates)
- Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of cheesecake onto the centre of each crepe, and serve with extra strawberries. Optional: top with strawberry jam/conserve and dust with icing sugar for extra decadence

Wife wants me to bake so I made these for Mother’s Day today for her. Tested out on one of my daughters and made my mouth water- we both enjoyed very much! My wife thought they are treasure and what a nice surprise they were! Great yummy recipe! – Jim
I made these today and everyone loved them! I used Quest Vanilla Protein powder instead of flour and it worked well, the protein powder is sweetened with stevie so I didn’t add anymore sweeter to the recipe! I just started ww last week, but I’ve followed you on insta for a long time and you have always been my favorite inspiration! Do you think the ww pp would vary much due to my substitution?
Aw that’s wonderful! I’m so happy to hear that. The vanilla protein powder would have given them a yummy taste too. I would say the points would change slightly, as I’m not sure what the points are in comparison to flour. Thank you for your message! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.. Xx
