I had company for dinner tonight and decided to serve these Cream Cheese Pancakes as Dessert Crepes with Strawberries and Whipped Cream. You know how these can be touchy to flip as pancakes - well, I was worried about trying to flip thin crepes so I used a small 'omelet' pan to start with and poured in a little of the batter and swirled it around in the pan, then let it cook for a couple minutes. Then I took a large skillet sprayed with non-stick and flipped the little pan upside down and let the crepe fall into the big pan to cook the second side. Then while that was cooking, I put some butter in the first pan so it would be ready for the next crepe. By the time I got about finished, I figured out how to keep both pans going and working on two crepes at a time. I also used pumpkin pie spice and they had a slight nutmeg flavor.
I made the crepes ahead of time and when we wanted dessert all I had to do was spoon a couple strawberries on one, roll it up and top it with the whipped cream. I put a strawberry on top for garnish. I was going to sprinkle them with cinnamon, but forgot. My company was really impressed anyway. Like they thought it was really hard to make them!!! I made a very small one for myself because of the low-carb-a-thon.
Don't know if i already told you that I put the cream cheese in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften it up before it went into the Magic Bullet and it mixes up much better (faster).
