Fruit-Filled Crepes

From EatingWell: Spring 2004

This dessert or special brunch dish is great for entertaining because it can be made in advance and popped in the oven just before serving. Strawberry-rhubarb filling is a lovely salute to the season and is also delicious as a topping for ice cream.

Ingredients

16 Whole-Wheat, Buckwheat or Cornmeal Crepes, (recipe follows)
1/2 cup Vanilla Cream, (recipe follows) or 1 cup low-fat vanilla ice cream
2 1/2 cups Strawberry-Rhubarb Filling, (recipe follows)

This recipe calls for:

Preparation

Prepare crepe batter. While it is resting, drain yogurt for Vanilla Cream, if using, and make filling.
Finish crepe batter and cook crepes.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread about 2 tablespoons filling over one half of the less-attractive side of each crepe. Fold the unfilled side over the filling, then fold the crepe in half to make a fan shape. Overlap the crepes slightly in the prepared baking dish.
Cover the crepes with foil and bake until heated through, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, finish the Vanilla Cream, if making. Dust the crepes with sugar and serve with Vanilla Cream (or ice cream).
