Red, White and Blue Dessert Crepes

Red, White, and Blue Dessert Crepes could not be simpler, especially since they start with a cake mix!

Each Funfetti crepe is filled with fresh fruit and topped with whipped cream; a fun way to celebrate with red, white, and blue!

These red, white and blue dessert crepes are a modern twist on the crepes I grew up with. For starters, they are made with cake mix. With the Memorial Day holiday approaching (and the 4th of July nipping at its heels) I decided to use Pillsbury’s Stars and Stripes Funfetti Cake mix. I combined the cake mix ingredients as well as a little milk. Just like my Nutella Crepe recipe I used my trusty blender to mix my ingredients and then my crepe batter was ready!

Easy Dessert Crepes

This patriotic breakfast is a simple and easy way to start your day on holidays like Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Presidents Day, or even the Fourth of July. Made with minimal steps and ingredients you can have tasty berries-filled crepes in no time. Making your own crepes is fun because they’re easily customizable to what YOU want to be served with them making your meal all about your tastebuds and fun colors.

Recipe Tips

I filled each festive crepe with lots of fresh berries and topped each off with homemade whipped cream.

You can fill these crepes with your favorite fruit, ice cream, whipped cream, frosting, or even lemon curd. These patriotic crepes will be the hit of all your patriotic celebrations!

FAQs

Should crepe batter be runny?

Crepe batter is much thinner than pancake batter and should be runny so that you can turn the pan and have the batter run all around to coat the inside of it. Thicker batter will not allow for this to happen.

Do you cook crepes on both sides?

Yes, even though the second side kind of gets cooked while the first side is on the pan you still want to heat the other side to get it to a nice golden color and to help remove any wet batter spots that could have possibly been left.

Can crepes be eaten cold?

You can serve your crepes hot or cold depending on what you’d prefer. I find that they are much easier to roll or fold when the crepe is warm because colder ones tend to crack along the sides.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 15.25 oz box Funfetti Stars and Stripes Pillsbury cake mix
• 1 cup water
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup oil
• 1 cup of milk or half and half
• Butter
• Mixed berries
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Combine cake mix, water, eggs, oil and milk in a blender; combine until all the ingredients have been incorporated. Add more milk if the batter is too thick.
3. Place a teaspoon of butter onto the hot skillet and swirl the butter around so that the bottom is coated.
4. Place ¼ cup of the crepe batter slowly onto the center of the skillet. Raise the skillet, and with just your wrist moving, slowly swirl the batter around into a large circle.
5. Place skillet back onto the heat. Increase the heat to medium-high.
6. Start checking the underside of your crepe when air pockets begin to develop. When the underside is golden brown, carefully lift crepe with a wide spatula.
7. Flip crepe onto the other side, reduce heat to medium-low and heat the second side until golden brown (second side will cook much quicker).
8. Repeat process with remaining batter.
9. In the meantime place the heavy cream in a cold mixing bowl.
10. Beat cream and sugar on high speed until the cream begins to thicken.
11. To assemble crepes, place mixed berries down the center of each crepe, fold sides over the fruit.
12. Place crepe seam side down onto your plate.
13. Top with cream and a dusting of powdered sugar.
