Equipment

- Sharp knife
- Wooden cutting board
Step 1 – Make the Crepe Batter
Place the following ingredients into your blender:
- Bananas
- Eggs
- Milk
- Flour
- Melted butter
- Vanilla
- Honey
Blend for about 40–60 seconds until the batter is completely smooth with no flour lumps remaining.
The batter should be thin and pour easily.
Let it rest for 10 minutes before cooking.
Step 2 – Cook the Crepes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
Lightly grease with butter.
Pour about ¼ cup batter into the center of the pan.
Immediately rotate the pan so the batter spreads into a thin circle.
Cook for about 1 minute until the edges begin lifting.
Flip carefully.
Cook the second side for another 20–30 seconds.
Transfer to a plate.
Repeat until all batter is used.
Step 3 – Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl combine:
- Cream cheese
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla
Beat until smooth.
In another bowl whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light, fluffy, and smooth.
Transfer the filling into a piping bag.
Step 4 – Assemble the Crepe
Lay one cooled crepe flat on a wooden cutting board.
Pipe a thick line of cheesecake filling across the center.
Arrange:
- Strawberry halves
- Blueberries
- Kiwi slices
in a straight line on top of the filling.
Step 5 – Roll the Crepe
Starting from one side, gently roll the crepe into a tight log.
Avoid squeezing too hard to keep the filling inside.
The finished roll should be smooth, even, and neatly sealed.
Step 6 – Slice
Using a sharp knife:
Cut the crepe roll diagonally in half.
The creamy cheesecake filling and colorful fruit should be beautifully visible in the cross-section.
This is the most satisfying and visually appealing moment of the recipe.
Step 7 – Decorate
Place the two halves on a serving plate.
Finish with:
- Powdered sugar
- Strawberry sauce
- Fresh strawberries
- Blueberries
- Mint leaves
Serve immediately while fresh.
Tips for Perfect Crepes
Use ripe bananas
They add natural sweetness and create a softer crepe.
Rest the batter
Allowing the batter to rest for 10–15 minutes helps produce smoother, more tender crepes.
Cook over medium-low heat
Too much heat will brown the crepes too quickly before they cook evenly.
Cool before filling
Warm crepes can cause the cream cheese filling to soften too much.
Chill before slicing
Refrigerate the rolled crepe for 10–15 minutes for cleaner, more precise cuts.
Storage
- Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Best enjoyed fresh for the creamiest texture.
- Not recommended for freezing once filled with fresh fruit.
Variations
🍵 Matcha Cheesecake Crepe
Add 1 teaspoon matcha powder to the batter for a vibrant green crepe.
🍫 Chocolate Strawberry Crepe
Replace 2 tablespoons of flour with cocoa powder and fill with chocolate whipped cream.
🥭 Mango Cheesecake Crepe
Swap the berries for fresh mango slices and passion fruit.
🍌 Banana Nutella Crepe
Spread Nutella inside the crepe and add sliced bananas for a rich, indulgent version.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the crepes ahead of time?
Yes. Stack cooked crepes with parchment paper between each layer and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Can I use frozen fruit?
Fresh fruit is recommended because it holds its shape better and doesn’t release excess moisture.
What if I don’t have a blender?
Whisk all the batter ingredients together by hand until smooth, then strain the batter through a fine sieve to remove any lumps.
