Strawberry Crepes with Honey Citrus Sauce

Turn homemade honey crepes into a bright summer dessert with fresh strawberries, lemon sorbet or yogurt, and a glossy orange-lemon sauce sweetened with Blackberry Honey. Each crepe is shaped into a cup for an easy individual serving.

Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Weeks Honey Farm Blackberry Honey
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 6 honey crepes
  • 1 pint lemon sorbet or low-fat lemon yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

How to Make Honey Citrus Sauce

  1. Combine. In a small saucepan, whisk the Blackberry Honey, orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, lemon zest, and cornstarch until smooth and the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  2. Thicken. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally. Cook until the sauce thickens and looks glossy.
  3. Finish. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter or margarine.
  4. Cool. Let the sauce cool to room temperature, or cover and refrigerate it until assembly.

How to Assemble Strawberry Crepes

  1. Press one honey crepe gently into each of six ramekins or small bowls to form a cup.
  2. Add one scoop of lemon sorbet or a portion of low-fat lemon yogurt to each crepe.
  3. Top each serving with 1/4 cup sliced strawberries.
  4. Drizzle each with 2 to 3 tablespoons honey citrus sauce and serve promptly.

Make-Ahead Tips

  • Prepare the crepes and sauce in advance, then keep them covered in the refrigerator.
  • Wait to assemble until serving so the crepes do not become soggy.
  • For breakfast or brunch, use yogurt; for dessert, use lemon sorbet.
  • Warm thick refrigerated sauce very gently if you prefer a looser drizzle.

Why Blackberry Honey Works

Blackberry Honey has rich floral sweetness that complements strawberries, orange, and lemon without covering their fresh flavor.
