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:
- 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.
- Make the Filling:
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla, beating until well combined and creamy.
- 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.
- 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.
