Yield: 8 Servings
Ingredients:
----------------- Crepes ----------------
3/4 cup 1% low-fat milk
3/4 cup All-purpose flour
1 x Egg
1 tbl Honey
1 tbl 70% buttermilk-vegetable oil spread, melted
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1/8 tsp Salt
----------------- Topping ----------------
16 oz Apricot halves in light syrup, halved
3 tbl Apricot jam
1 tbl Honey
1 tsp Orange zest
----------------- Filling ----------------
3 oz Cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup Confectioner's sugar
1 1/2 cup 1% whipped cottage cheese, or nonfat farmer cheese
2 tsp Orange zest
1 tsp Vanilla
Method:
In blender or food processor blend milk, flour, egg, honey, vegetable
oil spread, vanilla and salt until smooth. Or whisk in bowl. Coat large
nonstick skillet with nonstick spray. Heat over medium heat. Remove from
heat and add 3 tablespoons batter, swirling pan to evenly coat bottom.
Return to heat and cook until lightly browned on bottom, about 2
minutes.
Place cooked side up on wax paper. Repeat with remaining batter, coating
skillet with nonstick spray as needed, making a total of 8 crepes. Stack
crepes with wax paper in between. (Crepes can be made up to 2 days
ahead; store in airtight container, refrigerated.) For topping, drain
apricots reserving 1/4 cup syrup. In small skillet combine reserved
syrup, jam, honey and zest. Over medium heat, bring to a simmer. Add
apricots and return to a simmer, set aside. Meanwhile, for filling, in
small bowl mix cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Stir
in cottage cheese, zest and vanilla. Preheat oven to 375 F. Coat a 13 x
9" baking dish with nonstick spray. Lay out crepes, cooked side down.
Spoon about 1/4 cup filling in center of each crepe. Fold one side over
filling. Leaving opposite side open, fold other 2 sides over filling to
overlap in center.
Place in prepared dish. Bake 10 minutes or until heated through and
slightly crisp. Over medium-low heat warm apricot topping. To serve,
place crepe on dessert plates. Top with warm apricot topping.
