Blueberry Dream Blintzes
Blueberry Dream Blintzes are a delicious and indulgent breakfast dish that will leave you dreaming of more. These blintzes are made with a sweet and creamy blueberry filling, wrapped in a thin and delicate crepe-like pancake. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend brunch.
To make Blueberry Dream Blintzes, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 2 crepes (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup blueberry filling (recipe below)
- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the blueberry filling, you will need:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
To make the blueberry filling, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries burst, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
To make the blintzes, mix together the ricotta cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Spread 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto each crepe, leaving a small border around the edges. Spoon 1/4 cup of the blueberry filling onto the ricotta mixture.
Fold the sides of the crepe over the filling, then roll up from the bottom to the top, creating a neat package. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Dip each blintz in the egg mixture, then place in the skillet seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve the Blueberry Dream Blintzes hot, garnished with additional blueberry filling and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. These blintzes are sweet, creamy, and bursting with juicy blueberry flavor. They are perfect for a special breakfast or brunch, and are sure to impress your guests.
