Steps

For the crepes:

  1. Into a blender, add all the ingredients listed above in the order they are listed. Blend until well combined, using a spatula to scrape down the sides if needed. Then set it aside.
  2. Heat a 9-inch (medium) non-stick pan over medium heat. Add enough butter to lightly coat and spread it around.
  3. Once the butter is hot, add about 3 Tbsp of batter or enough to lightly coat the bottom of the pan, swirling the pan to spread it out evenly.
  4. Sauté for around 30 seconds per side (or until lightly golden) and flip. Move the crepes to a clean surface to allow them to cool before stacking.

For the filling:

  1. Into a bowl, add butter and condensed milk and whisk until lightened in colour.
  2. Add the cream cheese 1 Tbsp at a time while mixing and continue whisking until the mixture is no longer lumpy.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well-incorporated and smooth. Small lumps should be unnoticable when eating, so are not a problem.
