Dietitian's tip: Using fat-free cream cheese in these crepes instead of full-fat cream cheese saves 144 calories and 19 grams of fat per serving.

By Mayo Clinic staff
Serves 2

Ingredients

    4 ounces fat-free cream cheese, softened
    2 tablespoons sifted powdered sugar plus 1 teaspoon for garnish
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    8 strawberries, hulled and sliced
    2 prepackaged crepes, each about 8 inches in diameter
    2 tablespoons caramel sauce, warmed

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 F. Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix well.

Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture on each crepe, leaving 1/2 inch around the edge. Top with 2 tablespoons strawberries. Roll up and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Transfer the crepes to individual serving plates. Top each with 1/2 teaspoon powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon caramel sauce. Serve immediately.
