A delightful and low-carb strawberry cream cheese filling, perfect for your favorite crepes. Easy to make and bursting with fresh flavor!
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Electric Mixer
- Small Bowl
Ingredients
Creamy Filling
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons powdered sweetener (keto-friendly option recommended)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Strawberry Mixture & Serving
- 1/2 cup diced strawberries
- 4 low-carb crepes (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, ¼ cup of the powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat until the mixture is beautifully smooth and fluffy.
- In a separate small bowl, gently toss the diced strawberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of powdered sweetener.
- Allow the strawberry mixture to sit for about 10 minutes. This step, called macerating, helps the sweetener draw out the natural juices from the strawberries, creating a light, delicious sauce.
- Once the strawberries have macerated, carefully fold ¼ of this mixture into your fluffy cream cheese blend. This will be the luscious filling for your crepes.
- Take each crepe and spoon ¼ of the creamy filling inside. Then, drizzle the remaining strawberry sauce over the top. Serve immediately and savor every delightful bite!
Notes
This recipe creates a luscious, low-carb filling perfect for crepes or other desserts. The macerating step for the strawberries is key to developing a rich, natural sauce.
