The farmers market was flooded with fresh local strawberries this weekend and I picked up a bunch of them. I just couldn’t pass up on making a decadent strawberry breakfast and I thought that strawberry crepes would be great. Cheesecake had been on my mind and I was thinking that using a cheesecake like filling would be a great idea. For the cheesecake like filling I folded cream cheese into whipped cream. I still had some of the strawberry jam that I made last year and I decided to add some of that for even more strawberry flavour. The strawberry cheesecake crepes were really good. They were nice and fresh and cool and sweet and full of strawberry flavour. I enjoyed the taste and texture of the cream cheese and whipped cream filling. The crepes were a perfect Sunday breakfast.

Oh, I’m so jealous! I bought six cartons of strawberries yesterday, but my family devoured them before I could carry out my plans! Your photo looks amazing. Isn’t it lovely having such great strawberries this time of year?!
That looks so delicious! The filling in combination with the strawberries are to die for!
Which market do you buy all your fruits/vegetables, they always look so fresh!
Steph: I get my fruits and vegetables at the farmers market at the St. Lawrence Market.
Those are the most decadent-looking crepes I’ve ever seen – yum!!!

There is a French cafe here that makes all sorts of filled crepes, and this strawberry one is the one I get every time. It is the best although I do indulge in the nutella one from time to time! Beautiful, Kevin!
By icing sugar, I presume youmean confectioners sugar? These are beautiful!
Oh man, I wish you were here this morning so I could’ve had this for breakfast, too!
Marjie: Yes, confectioners sugar/icing sugar.
