Ingredients:

For the Galaxy Crepes:

  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 6 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • Gel food colors (fuchsia, navy, violet, turquoise)

For the Tart Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2/3 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Golden Glitter Buttermilk Syrup:

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2-3 grams super gold luster dust

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Crepes:
    • Blend milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, flour, sugar, and salt until smooth. Chill the batter for an hour to settle bubbles.
    • Divide the batter into four bowls and color each with gel food dye for a galaxy effect.
    • Pour 1/4 cup of mixed batter colors into a hot, lightly greased skillet, swirling to spread evenly. Cook each side for about 40 seconds until set and slightly golden.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla, beating until well combined and creamy.
  3. Cook the Syrup:
    • In a large saucepan, combine buttermilk, butter, sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
    • Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and baking soda (note the mixture will foam). Finally, whisk in the gold luster dust for that magical sparkle.
  4. Assemble the Crepes:
    • Spread each crepe with a generous amount of tart cream cheese filling. Roll up and place on a serving dish.
    • Drizzle with warm golden glitter buttermilk syrup before serving.

Tips:

  • Ensure the crepe batter is smooth and free of lumps to prevent any uneven textures.
  • Keep the syrup warm for easier drizzling and a stunning presentation.
  • The crepes can be made in advance and assembled just before serving, adding flexibility to your meal preparation.

Conclusion:

These Galaxy Unicorn Crepes blend delightful aesthetics with delicious tastes. The glittery golden syrup not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a decadent, creamy flavor that complements the tartness of the cream cheese filling beautifully. Perfect for a special breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these crepes promise to transport your guests to a magical universe with every bite!
