Blueberry Crepe Cake
 Blueberry Crepe Cake I love making crepes and especially that they can be sweet or savory. Today I’m doing a dessert with them that has a cream cheese filling and a blueberry topping. To make crepes there are a couple of things to remember, the batter needs to rest at least a hour before making them and use something consistent to measure out the batter so that you end up with crepes that are the same size. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup and fill it almost full. I use a non-stick 8 inch frying pan with sloped sides. I put a little oil on a paper towel and lightly brush it on the pan. Quickly pour the crepe batter in the center of the pan and immediately swirl the batter to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook for about 1 minute and then flip the crepe over and cook another 45 seconds. Put them on a plate and stack them one on top of another until you have used all of the batter. Cover them with a towel until they have cooled. The next thing is to make a cheesecake filling and that can be done in less than 10 minutes. I used a Pampered Chef Medium Scoop of filling between each layer. It was just the right amount of filling. Spread the filling to the edges. The blueberry topping can be made in about 10 minutes. It can also be made ahead.
