STRAWBERRY FRUIT DIP AND CREPES FILLING
Every time I make this, I want to eat it with a spoon. It's creamy but not too rich, thick and refreshing. You can dip fruit in this (bananas, apples, etc) cookies, cake, crepes, ice cream... oh, gosh, anything that goes with strawberries! My favorite way to eat this is to tear off pieces of a desert crepe and scoop up about a teaspoon at a time.

Steps:
- Spray non-stick on pan, and heat on medium heat.
- Combine all ingredients in a measuring cup.
- When pan is ready (water droplets thrown on it should sizzle), pour on crepe batter until desired size. (Swivel the pan a little to spread out the batter a bit).
- Once the edges have changed colour and firmed up, flip the crepe and leave on the other side for about 10 seconds.
- Cover with fruit topping and whipped cream.
- Fruit Topping Suggestion: Combine frozen fruit in pot with water and sugar (You can use fresh fruit too, I just happen to have a lot of frozen fruit handy.).
- Heat on medium high heat (while you are making the crepes).
- When it's heated you can either leave as is or puree it.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling.
- Use fresh, ripe fruit: Fresh, ripe fruit will give your crepes the best flavor. If you're using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking your crepes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will make them cook unevenly.
- Flip the crepes carefully: When flipping your crepes, use a spatula that is thin and flexible. This will help you avoid tearing the crepes.
- Serve immediately: Crepes are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to store them, wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Fruit and cream crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover fruit.
