Ingredients

  • 12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Juice of eight lemons
  • 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 12 medium crepes
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Splash of Cognac

Directions

Using a hand-held blender, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream, 1/4 cup sugar, powdered sugar, juice of two lemons, 1 tablespoon of the lemon zest, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Fill each crepe with 3 tablespoons of the filling. Roll the crepes up tightly and place in the refrigerator. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt the butter with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Add the remaining juice of six lemons and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Stir to mix thoroughly. Add the crepes to the mixture. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cognac. Carefully place the pan, back over the heat and flame the mixture, shaking the pan back and fourth several times. Continue to shake until the flame dies out. Lay three crepes in the center of each plate. Spoon the sauce over the top and serve.

Crepes:

For crepes, combine the whole eggs, milk, butter, flour until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Heat a 7 1/2-inch crepe pan. Lightly oil the pan. Pour 2 tablespoons of the batter in the center of the pan. Tilt pan from left to right to cover entire surface. Cook the crepe until the edges begin to brown and flip cook until done. Remove from the pan.

    In general, I love lemon-flavored sweets, but I was disappointed in this recipe. I thought the cream filling was too tart and the lemon/sugar/cognac sauce didn't help sweeten these crepes.

    My husband who is not a cook at all made this for me a few weeks ago. We have a lemon tree in our yard so its a great way to use up some. It was the best crepe I ever ate. I love lemon and it was perfect. I have been craving this every weekend since and tomorrow morning we will be eating it again. I can not wait. we change it up a bit because we have 2 small kids who cant wait an hour for breakfast. We make the filling the night before and squeeze the lemons for the sauce. Then we just have to make the crepes, finish the sauce (we do skip the cognac, small kids and assemble. We also just drizzle the sauce over the top its so perfect. It has to be good if the kids love it . This will make a place in the family cookbook...
