Ingredients

Servings

• 1 cup For the crepes:
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 Eggs
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoon Butter, melted
• For the filling:
• 1 cup Cream cheese, softened
• ¹⁄₄ cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoon Lemon juice
• For the meringue:
• 3 Egg whites
• ¹⁄₂ cup Sugar
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Cream of tartar
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, milk, eggs, salt, and melted butter until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
2. In another bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice until creamy.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the skillet, swirling to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
4. Spread a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto each crepe. Roll up the crepes and place them in a baking dish.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
6. In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the sugar, cream of tartar, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
7. Spread the meringue over the crepes, covering them completely.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the meringue is golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
