Next up for the fresh local strawberries that I picked up at the farmers market on the weekend are these strawberry and mascarpone crepes inspired by the latest issue of Food & Drink. You really can’t go wrong with strawberries and cream but you can make them even better by wrapping them in warm, light and fluffy crepes. This recipe gets its creamy component from mascarpone and it lightens it up a bit by using half mascarpone and half plain yogurt. Strawberries are mixed in with the cream filling and the crepes are finished off with a drizzle of freshly made strawberry syrup. These crepes make for a really nice weekend breakfast or brunch or even a light weekday meal. I can pretend that it is crepe, no I mean pancake Tuesday. 🙂

Looks heavenly! Since I eat low carb, I'm going to make the crepes out of egg whites only and omit the sugar.

The crepes sound delicious. We are on the same wave line. Just posted how how to make Greek spoon sweets with strawberries or apricots.

Aww, crepes hold a special place in my heart. My mother always prepares a crepe breakfast for my birthday. She always prepares it with fresh fruit and whipped cream (hey, it’s my birthday…whipped cream for breakfast is allowed ;-). I’ve never tried it with marscarpone. Will have to give it a go. Thanks

You cannot go wrong pairing strawberries and mascarpone. I like the added lightness and tang of yoghurt. The strawberry syrup will be perfect when our strawberries come in….soon.
