Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• ½ cup cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Butter or oil for cooking

How to Make Stacked Sweet Crepes with Cheese

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes, which allows the gluten to relax and results in tender crepes.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
3. Pour about ¼ cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling it around to cover the bottom evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the surface appears set. Flip and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and smooth.
5. To assemble, take one crepe and spread a layer of the cheese filling evenly over the surface. Place another crepe on top and repeat the process until all the crepes and filling are used, finishing with a crepe on top.
6. Dust the top crepe with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish. Slice into wedges or serve whole.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your batter is well-mixed and free of lumps for smooth crepes.
• Let the crepe batter rest to achieve the best texture.
• Adjust the heat as needed while cooking; too high can burn the crepes, while too low can dry them out.
• Use a non-stick skillet for easy flipping and removal.
• Experiment with different fillings or toppings to personalize your crepes.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the ricotta cheese for mascarpone for a richer filling.
• Add a spoonful of fruit preserves or fresh berries in between the layers for added flavor.
• Drizzle with chocolate sauce or caramel for extra sweetness.
• Substitute orange zest for lemon for a different citrus flavor.
• Use whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit, such as berries, bananas, or citrus slices for a refreshing contrast.
• A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent touch.
• A drizzle of maple syrup or honey for added sweetness.
• A cup of coffee or tea to complement the dessert.
