Perfect for a light brunch. Very easy to make. A little on the rich side, so smaller portions are best.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

Sauce:

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ½ cup salted butter, melted

  • ¼ cup water

  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • 1 egg yolk

Filling:

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

  • 1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained, with juice reserved

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Crepes:

  • 1 ½ cups milk

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 eggs

Directions

  1. Whisk 1 cup sugar, butter, water, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and egg yolk together in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Cover sauce to keep warm.

  2. Beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup mandarin orange juice, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl using an electric mixer until well blended; mixture will be a bit lumpy.

  3. Blend milk, flour, and eggs together in a bowl using an electric mixer. Set a greased crepe pan over medium heat. Ladle batter in until just covering the bottom of the pan. Cook until top dries, about 3 minutes. Flip and set aside; repeat with the remaining batter.

  4. Spoon filling into crepes and fold over like a taco. Spoon mandarin orange pieces over filled crepes. Pour sauce on top.
