Lemon Dream Crepes image

Need a light dessert idea for a luncheon? With a delicate lemon filling, these crepes are even better than lemon meringue pie! I have served them at many summer luncheons, and they seem to be a perfect ending for the meal. -Sue A. Jurack

2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Transfer to a small bowl; press plastic wrap over top of filling. Refrigerate until chilled., In a small bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Fold half of the whipped cream into lemon filling. To serve, spoon 2 tablespoonfuls of filling down the center of each crepe; fold sides of crepe over filling. Top with remaining whipped cream.
