Sleepover Crepes Brunch

I just made the most scrumptious brunch for after a sleepover. Quite filling and decadent for the morning after a sleepover. A double batch of the crepes, a single batch of the berry sauce, and a single batch of the cream cheese filling was enough to feed 5 children and 3 adults. With just two crepes leftover.

Crepes

Ingredients
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk
1 cup flour (I used whole wheat)
1/2 stick frozen butter

Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl, add the milk and continue to beat to mix. Add flour, stir until mixed evenly.
The pan needs to be heated to a medium heat before you start cooking. I don't use nonstick pans, the following instructions assume this. Use the frozen butter to grease the pan, pour in 1/4 cup of the crepe mixture. You will need to pick up the pan and swirl the crepe batter a bit to spread it out.
Watch the crepe closely, it is ready to flip when the top looks dry. Flip and cook on the other side for just a bit of time (1 minute maybe). You will not be able to walk away from the crepes, they cook quickly!
Fill with cream cheese mixture if desired. Roll and top with berry sauce.
A single batch will make approximately 12 crepes.

Berry Sauce
I used the homemade cranberry sauce recipe. I just did 2 cups cranberries and 2 cups blackberries for the crepe topping.

Homemade Cranberry Sauce:Ingredients:
‎1 Cup water
1 Cup sugar
4 Cups Fresh Cranberries.

Directions:Put in a pot and bring to a boil. Turn down and simmer for apx 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat and let cool. It will thicken as it cools.

Cream Cheese Filling

Ingredients
1 package cream cheese (8oz)
approximately 1 cup whipped cream topping

Directions:
Put the cream cheese and the whipped topping in a 1 gallon ziplock bag. Squeeze as much of the air out as possible. Squish the cream cheese and the topping together until combined. Squish all the mixture to the bottom of the bag. Snip the corner of the bag and use as a pastry bag to fill the crepes.
This makes just enough to fill approximately 10 crepes. My children do not like this filling, so I only used it for the adults.
