Ingredients
For the crepes:
-
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol sweetener
- 2 tablespoons butter, for the pan
For the cannoli filling:
- 6 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon unsweetened vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol sweetener
For the optional chocolate drizzle (not included in nutrition info:)
-
3 squares of a Lindt 90% chocolate bar
Instructions
For the crepes:
- Combine all of the crepes ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes and then give it a stir to break up any additional air bubbles.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in a 10 inch or larger nonstick saute pan over medium heat.
- When the butter is melted and bubbling, pour in about 1/4 cup of batter (you can eyeball it) and if necessary, gently tilt the pan in a circular motion to create a 6-inch (-ish) round crepe.
- Cook for two minutes, or until the top is no longer glossy and bubbles have formed almost to the middle of the crepe.
- Carefully flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove and place on a plate.
- Repeat until you have 8 usable crepes.
For the cannoli filling:
- Place all of the filling ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and fold gently with a silicone spatula until fully combined.
- Spoon the filling into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tube. (If you don’t have a pastry bag, use a gallon sized plastic bag with the corner cut out to create a 1 inch wide opening.) Alternatively you can just smear it on the crepe with a spoon.
- Pipe a line of filling down the center of one crepe.
- Fold the right side over the filling, and then the left side over the top to create a roll.
- Repeat with the remaining 7 crepes.
- Serve immediately or store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For the optional chocolate drizzle (not included in nutrition info):
- Just before serving the crepes, place the squares of chocolate in a small bowl.
- Microwave on high, uncovered, for 30 seconds. Stir. If not melted, microwave for another 10 seconds. Stir.
- Scrape the melted chocolate into a small plastic bag and cut a tiny bit of one bottom corner off.
- Gently squeeze the bag to drizzle the chocolate over the crepes.
