Cherry Cheese Blintzes image

These elegant blintzes can be served as an attractive dessert or a brunch entree. The bright cherry sauce gives them a delightful flavor. I sometimes substitute other fruits, such as raspberries, blueberries or peaches. -Jessica Vantrease, Anderson, Alaska

These blintzes were a little bit too gooey for my taste, but they were still very good.
