Ingredients
• For the Crepes
• 2 oz / 56g full-fat cream cheese, softened
• 2 large eggs
• For the Topping
• ½ cup / 75g mixed berries, fresh or frozen
• 2 tsp / 10ml heavy whipping cream
Instructions
1. Directions
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the cream cheese for about 15-20 seconds until it’s soft and stirrable.
3. Add the eggs to the softened cream cheese, one at a time. Use a whisk or an immersion blender to mix thoroughly after each addition until the batter is completely smooth and free of lumps.
4. If desired, stir in optional flavorings like a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or coconut oil.
6. Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter into the center of the pan, immediately swirling the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
7. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the surface appears set. Carefully flip with a thin spatula and cook for another 30-60 seconds on the other side.
8. Slide the finished crepe onto a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
9. Serve warm, topped with fresh mixed berries and a drizzle of heavy whipping cream.

Pro Tips
• For the smoothest batter, ensure your cream cheese is very soft and your eggs are at room temperature before mixing.
• Keep the pan on medium-low heat to prevent the crepes from browning too quickly before they are fully cooked through.
• Wait until the edges of the crepe begin to lift from the pan and the surface looks dry before attempting to flip. Use a thin, flexible spatula for best results.
• Cooked crepes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stack them with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking.
FAQ
Q: Why is my keto crepe batter lumpy
A: Lumpy batter is usually caused by cold cream cheese. For the smoothest results, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened and your eggs are at room temperature before blending them together. An immersion blender can also help eliminate any remaining lumps.
Q: How do I flip these crepes without them tearing
A: The key is to cook on medium-low heat and be patient. Wait until the edges of the crepe begin to lift away from the pan and the surface looks dry and set. Then, use a thin, flexible spatula to carefully slide underneath and flip.
Q: Can I make these keto crepes ahead of time
A: Yes, you can store cooked crepes in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To prevent them from sticking, stack them with a layer of parchment paper in between each crepe.
Q: Can I use this recipe for savory keto crepes
A: Absolutely. This recipe is a perfect neutral base. For a savory version, simply omit any sweet flavorings like vanilla and add a pinch of salt, herbs, or garlic powder to the batter instead.
