Ingredients

    • For crêpes
    • 1 cup whole milk
    • 4 large eggs
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¼ cup unsalted butter
    • For filling
    • 1 lemon, for zest/juice
    • 2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
    • 6 tablespoons whipped cream cheese spread
    • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 large egg
    • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
    • 1 cup seedless raspberry (or strawberry) jam
    • 8 oz sour cream (optional for serving)

    Steps

      1. Prepare crêpes. Combine milk, eggs, flour, and salt in blender (or food processor bowl); blend until smooth. Cover batter and chill 1 hour (or overnight).
      2. Melt butter. Preheat medium, nonstick sauté pan (or crêpe pan) on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon melted butter to pan and swirl to coat. Pour ¼ cup batter into pan (just enough to coat bottom of pan in even layer); cook 1–2 minutes until crêpe becomes slightly golden around edges. Remove crêpe from pan; repeat with remaining butter and batter.
      3. Prepare filling. Zest lemon (1 teaspoon), then juice (2 tablespoons). Combine in large bowl: lemon zest, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg; mix until smooth. Spread 3 tablespoons cheese mixture in center of each crêpe; fold each side over filling, forming envelope.
      4. Place 1 tablespoon butter in medium sauté pan on medium. Place 3–4 blintzes seam-side down in pan; cook 1 minute on each side or until browned and filling is 160°F. Remove blintzes from pan and cover to keep warm; repeat with remaining butter and blintzes.
      5. Combine jam and lemon juice in microwave-safe bowl; microwave on HIGH 1–2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until hot. Serve blintzes with berry coulis and sour cream, if using.
