Best 3 Canyon Ranch Berry Fruit Crepes Recipes

MIXED BERRY CREPES WITH MASCARPONE

Steps:

• For the batter: Blend the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor or blender. Add the milk, water, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract, and process until smooth. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
• For the fruit: While batter rests, hull and halve the strawberries. Toss with blackberries, sugar, and orange liqueur, if using, in a medium bowl; set aside.
• For the filling: Whisk the cheeses with the sugar, orange zest and juice, and the vanilla extract.
• To make the crepes: Heat an 6-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat until a drop of water bounces and sizzles briefly on its surface before evaporating. Quickly pour in about 2 tablespoons of crepe batter and swirl it to coat the skillet evenly. Cook until the batter sets, about 30 seconds. Flip the crepe and cook the other side until just barely golden. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as they cook.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling on the lower left-hand corner of each crepe. Fold crepe in half, then half again to make a triangle with filling in the tip. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. Stack filled crepes neatly on serving platter (or hotel pan). (The crepes can be prepared up to this point a day ahead, covered tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight.)
• To serve: Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F. Cover crepes with foil and warm in the oven until heated through, about 10 minutes.
• Spoon the macerated berries over the crepes and serve.

CANYON RANCH BERRY FRUIT CREPES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat eggs until smooth. Add milk, salt, 1/4 cup oil and flour and mix well, until mixture resembles thin pancake batter. Heat 1 tsp oil in a nonstick sauté or crepe pan over medium heat. Pour 3 tbsp batter into the pan and immediately tilt and gently rotate the pan to coat the entire bottom. Cook until the edges begin to turn brown and the top is firm to the touch. Loosen edges and flip crepe. Cook 15 to 20 seconds more and remove. Repeat for remaining crepes. To keep crepes warm, place on a plate and cover with a kitchen towel. Combine ricotta, sugar, zest, and cinnamon in a medium bowl and mix well. Place 1 crepe on a flat surface. Spread 1 heaping tbsp filling in center of crepe. Top with 2 tbsp berries and roll. Repeat for all crepes. *Canyon Ranch uses organic berries because conventionally grown ones contain high amounts of pesticides. In addition, organic berries have higher levels of flavonoids (cancer-fighting substances) than conventional ones.
