If you’re looking for a recipe that’s sure to impress, then say good morning to these Strawberry Crepes with Pixie Tangerine Caramel!
Strawberries and crepes go together hand-in-hand like peanut butter and jelly. There’s something magical about its combination; you feel like you’re having breakfast and dessert at the same time! To assemble these crepes, we’ve folded fresh, juicy strawberries from Harry’s Berries into a luscious, creamy filling. You can use either mascarpone or Greek yogurt. Either way, these will be the most exquisite crepes your special someone will ever taste.
To pull off a spectacular breakfast, it’s the little details matter. The perfect citrus is succulently sweet, balanced and bright. Therefore, we’ve chosen Ojai Pixie Tangerines for this recipe. Pixie Tangerines taste just like the sunshine from the Ojai Valley and make an excellent ingredient in a variety of dishes, from breakfast to dessert. Their unique flavor really shines in the delicious, sticky caramel sauce we’ve created to drizzle over these crepes. Caramel sauce is already decadent on its own with its burnt sugary sweetness. However, if you haven’t tried it with tangerine juice before, prepare to be mind-blown. The tangerine juice adds an intense and complex flavor to the caramel unlike any other.
Brighten up your special someone’s morning with these elegant, fruit-filled crepes and you’ll be sure to win their heart. To save on time and effort, use our crepes for this recipe.
