Ingredients
For the Valentine Beet Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp beet puree (for natural red color and added nutrients)
- 1 tbsp sugar or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tbsp melted butter or neutral oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Lemon Bliss Filling:
- 1 cup cottage cheese (blended until smooth for a creamy texture)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar or sweetener (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
For the Strawberry Love Sauce:
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen strawberries
- 2 tbsp sugar or sweetener
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)
For the Greek Yogurt Whipped Cream:
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (for protein boost)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar or sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation
Prepare the Valentine Beet Crepes:
- In a blender, combine all the crepe ingredients and blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until set. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Make the Lemon Bliss Filling:
- In a bowl, mix the blended cottage cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
Cook the Strawberry Love Sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the strawberries soften and the sauce thickens (about 8-10 minutes).
- For a thicker consistency, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another minute. Let cool slightly.
Whip the Greek Yogurt Cream:
- In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold in the Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Crepes:
- Spread a generous layer of lemon bliss filling on each crepe and fold or roll them into a romantic heart shape.
- Drizzle with warm strawberry love sauce and top with a dollop of Greek yogurt whipped cream.
