Instructions
Crepes
- Put all the ingredients in a blender and process until combined. The mixture should be slightly thick but still runny. If too thick, gradually add water.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside for half an hour at room temperature.
- Heat a high-quality non-stick pan; no need to grease the pan.
- Pour ⅓-½ cup of the batter into the center of the hot pan. Tilt the pan a little to distribute the batter evenly. Fry until it starts to brown. There is no need to flip the crepes. Transfer to a plate and fry the rest of the crepes. Wrap in a plastic film or a towel to keep warm.
Blueberry Sauce
- Put all the ingredients in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium-low heat.
- Cook until the blueberries start to break down - about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
Cheese Filling
- Mix vegan cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest in a bowl.
For Serving
- Spread a tablespoon or two of the cheese mixture on each crepe, leaving clean edges.
- Put a tablespoon of the blueberry sauce along the center of the blintzes and roll.
- pour more blueberry sauce and serve.
