Then gently roll each crepe and place on a plate. Top each crepe with whipping cream and fresh strawberries.

CREPE FILLING

Steps:

• Put berries in a bowl & cover with the reg sugar, to bring out the juices. Do this the night before or the morning of.
• blend cream cheese & powdered sugar together, then fold in the berries.
• Once you have your crepes made you put the filling in and fold up the crepes. Filling is better in my eyes if you warm the crepes up a little in the microwave after filling them. (Warming the filling before you stuff the crepes could make it pretty runny.).

Swirl the pan to distribute the batter evenly into a thin smooth circle. Return skillet to heat and cook crepe on one side only. Flip cooked crepe onto a sheet of wax paper. From this point on always place 2 thicknesses of wax paper between each crepe to prevent form sticking and tearing.

Heat cherry mixture. Heat some additional brandy, flame and pour into cherry mixture. Pour some of the cherry mixture over each crepe to serve.
