Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a blender, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 1 1/4 cups whole milk, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Blend until smooth and let batter rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter into skillet, swirling to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is lightly golden, then flip and cook for 30 seconds. Repeat to make 8 crepes.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, mix 8 oz mascarpone cheese with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Spread about 2 tbsp mascarpone mixture onto each crepe, top with 3 tbsp sliced fresh strawberries, then fold crepes into quarters.
  5. Step 5: In a small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle the citrus glaze over the stuffed crepes and serve warm for a bright, sweet start to your Valentine’s Day.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Strawberry and Mascarpone Stuffed Crepes with Citrus Glaze take to make?

How do I store leftover Strawberry and Mascarpone Stuffed Crepes with Citrus Glaze?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep all-purpose flour from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Strawberry and Mascarpone Stuffed Crepes with Citrus Glaze?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Strawberry and Mascarpone Stuffed Crepes with Citrus Glaze for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

Is Strawberry and Mascarpone Stuffed Crepes with Citrus Glaze vegetarian?

Yes — this recipe is tagged vegetarian based on its ingredient list. Always cross-check labels for packaged ingredients (sauces, broths, condiments) since formulations vary by brand.
