To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
For the crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups eggnog
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the berry compote:
- 2 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the whipped cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
To start, make the crepes. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges start to lift away from the pan. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until lightly browned. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate as you go.
Next, make the berry compote. In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries have broken down and the mixture has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
Finally, make the whipped cream. In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
To serve, place a crepe on a plate and spoon some of the berry compote over the top. Fold the crepe in half, then in half again to form a triangle. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a few extra berries, if desired.
These Eggnog Crepes with Berry Compote and Whipped Cream are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy, with a light and fluffy texture that is sure to please. Serve them up for a festive breakfast or brunch, and watch as your guests rave about this delicious dish!
