Ingredients You’ll Need for the Strawberry Crêpe Roll:

For the Crêpe:

• Eggs – Provide structure and a tender texture in the crêpes.
• Flour – Gives the batter body and helps it hold together.
• Milk – Keeps the batter smooth and pourable.
• Melted Butter – Adds richness and helps prevent sticking.
• Sugar – Adds a touch of sweetness to the crêpes.

For the Filling:

• Strawberries – The star of the show! Sweet, juicy, and packed with flavor.
• Heavy Cream – Whipped into a soft, airy filling.
• Whipped Cream Stabilizer (Sahnesteif) – Helps the whipped cream hold its shape.
• Sugar – Sweetens the cream without overpowering the strawberries.

For making the Strawberry Crêpe Roll, here are the essential tools you’ll need:

• Mixing Bowls (2–3): One for your crêpe batter, one for whipping the cream, and one for prepping the strawberries.
• Whisk or Hand Mixer: A whisk will work fine for the crêpe batter, but a hand mixer or stand mixer makes whipping the cream faster and easier.
• Measuring Cups & Spoons: For accurate measuring of flour, sugar, milk, and butter.
• Non-Stick Frying Pan or Crêpe Pan: A non-stick pan (about 9–10 inches/24–26 cm) ensures your crêpes won’t tear or stick.
• Spatula or Crêpe Turner: For flipping the delicate crêpes without tearing them.
• Knife & Cutting Board: To dice the fresh strawberries into small, even pieces.
• Offset Spatula or Butter Knife (Optional): Helps to spread the whipped cream evenly over the crêpes.
• Piping Bag or Spoon (Optional): For a neater look when applying the cream filling.
• Plastic Wrap or Parchment Paper: Helpful for rolling and chilling the crêpe roll cleanly.

Here is the full Recipe:

Ingredients:

For the Crêpes:

• 2 large eggs
• 125g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
• 250ml (1 cup) milk
• 25g (2 tbsp) melted butter
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar

For the Filling:

• 200g (about 1 ½ cups) fresh strawberries, finely diced
• 200ml heavy cream (1 cup)
• 1 packet whipped cream stabilizer (or 1 tbsp cornstarch)
• 2 tbsp sugar (for sweetening the whipped cream)

Directions:

Make the Crêpe Batter

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, melted butter, and sugar until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes. This allows the flour to fully absorb the liquid, resulting in softer crêpes.

Prepare the Filling

1. While the batter is resting, wash and finely dice the strawberries. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with sugar and whipped cream stabilizer until stiff peaks form. It should be fluffy and able to hold its shape.
3. Tip: Make sure your cream is very cold before whipping for best results.

Cook the Crêpes

1. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a bit of butter. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, swirling it quickly to spread it thinly and evenly.
2. Cook for about 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Repeat until all the batter is used (you should get about 3–4 large crêpes).
3. Allow the crêpes to cool completely before assembling.

Assemble the Crêpe Roll

1. Lay the cooled crêpes slightly overlapping in a long horizontal line on parchment paper or a clean surface. They should form a single, large sheet.
2. Spread the whipped cream evenly across the crêpes, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the diced strawberries evenly over the cream.
3. Fold in the short edges, then gently roll the entire sheet from one long side into a tight log.
4. Wrap the roll in parchment paper or plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 15–30 minutes before slicing. This makes cutting cleaner and helps the roll set.

Serving Suggestions

• Dust with powdered sugar for a pretty finish.
• Add a few fresh mint leaves for color.
• Drizzle with melted chocolate or strawberry sauce for extra indulgence.
• Pair with a hot cup of coffee or a sparkling mimosa for the ultimate brunch.

How to Store Strawberry Crêpe Rolls

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Freezer: It’s best to enjoy these fresh. If needed, freeze the crêpes only (unfilled) between sheets of parchment.

Tips for the Perfect Strawberry Crêpe Rolls

• Let the batter rest – this makes the crêpes tender and less likely to tear.
• Use a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan for easy flipping.
• Don’t overfill with cream – less is more when you want a neat roll.
• Chill before slicing – makes serving much easier.
• Use ripe strawberries – they’ll bring the most flavor and natural sweetness.
