Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g), sifted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup pink lemonade (240ml), preferably fresh or lightly carbonated
  • ½ cup milk (120ml), whole or 2%, or dairy-free alternative
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese (250g), drained if watery
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Optional: drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Mix the Batter (10 minutes): In a large bowl, whisk together sifted flour, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, beat eggs lightly, then add pink lemonade, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour wet ingredients into dry and whisk until smooth. Let batter rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare Whipped Ricotta (5 minutes): In a medium bowl, beat ricotta, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Heat the Pan & Cook Crepes (15-20 minutes): Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with melted butter. Pour about ¼ cup (60ml) batter into pan, swirl to spread thinly. Cook 1 to 1½ minutes until edges lift and bottom is golden. Flip and cook 30 seconds more. Transfer crepe to cooling rack or plate. Repeat.
  4. Assemble the Crepes (5 minutes): Spread whipped ricotta on each crepe, fold or roll, then top with fresh berries. Drizzle honey or syrup if desired.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy crepes fresh and warm.

Notes

Resting the batter for 10 minutes improves texture. Use medium heat and lightly butter the pan between crepes to prevent sticking. Whip ricotta until fluffy for best texture contrast. Batter can be refrigerated up to 24 hours. Substitute gluten-free flour or dairy-free ricotta for dietary needs.
