Perfect for a light brunch. Very easy to make. A little on the rich side, so smaller portions are best.

Time 24m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup white sugar
½ cup salted butter, melted
¼ cup water
¼ cup lemon juice
1 egg yolk
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained, with juice reserved
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Whisk 1 cup sugar, butter, water, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and egg yolk together in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Cover sauce to keep warm.
  • Beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup mandarin orange juice, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl using an electric mixer until well blended; mixture will be a bit lumpy.
  • Blend milk, flour, and eggs together in a bowl using an electric mixer. Set a greased crepe pan over medium heat. Ladle batter in until just covering the bottom of the pan. Cook until top dries, about 3 minutes. Flip and set aside; repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Spoon filling into crepes and fold over like a taco. Spoon mandarin orange pieces over filled crepes. Pour sauce on top.

I'm not a big fan of citrus flavors, but I still enjoyed these crepes. The lemon and mandarin orange flavors were subtle and not overpowering. The crepes were also very easy to make and the filling was delicious. I would definitely make these again.

The crepes were delicious, but the filling was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would use less cream cheese next time. Overall, I enjoyed these crepes and would make them again.
