Ingredients

For the crepes

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsps sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tbsps unsalted butter melted
  • 1 PAM Non-GMO Avocado Oil Cooking Spray
  • powdered sugar to sprinkle on top

Cranberry Orange Jam

  • 2 lbs fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup sugar or low carb sweetener

For the Cranberry Orange Mascarpone Filling

  • 16 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 3 cups cranberry orange jam
  • 1/2 cup sugar or low carb sweetener

Instructions

Cranberry Orange Jam

  • Wash and sort cranberries, getting rid of soft ones.
  • Put the cranberries, sugar and orange juice in deep cooking pan and over medium heat, cook it until soft.
  • For a smooth jam, let it cool and process it in a blender. Refrigerate in an airtght container.

Cooking the Crepes

  • Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk the eggs and half of the milk.
  • Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Try to get rid of any lumps.
  • Add the melted butter and the rest of the milk and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a crepe pan or shallow frying pan or medium heat, spray some PAM Non-GMO Avocado Oil Cooking Spray. With a brush or paper towel, spread the oil on the pan.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of crepe mixture into the pan and quickly swirl the pan around to spread the batter into the pan forming a larger circle.
  • Turn the heat up to medium high and let it cook for a couple minutes until the top forms a film and the bottom is slightly golden brown.
  • Flip the crepe with a spatula and cook for a couple more minutes. Remove crepe and place it on a large plate.
  • Continue doing that until all crepes are cooked.

Making the Filling

  • Mix the sugar, the mascarpone cheese and the cranberry orange jam together in a bowl.

Assembling the crepes

  • Put one crepe into a flat surface. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the cranberry orange mascarpone filling in the center and with the back of the spoon, spread it around until about 1/4 inch from the edges.
  • Fold the crepes in half to form a semicircle and then fold it in half again to form a triangle.
  • Sprinkle powdered sugar on top and enjoy!
