To make Black Forest Blintzes, you will need the following ingredients:
- For the blintzes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Additional butter for cooking
- For the filling:
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cherry pie filling
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
To start, make the blintzes by whisking together the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
To make the filling, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Spoon a small amount of the filling onto each blintz, along with a spoonful of cherry pie filling and a sprinkle of chocolate chips. Roll up the blintzes and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet.
Bake the blintzes in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10-15 minutes, until heated through and lightly browned. Serve warm, garnished with additional cherry pie filling and chocolate chips.
