Cherries and Cream Crepes
A delightful and delicious way to serve crepes on a special occasion. This is how I learned to prepare them at home; it's one of my favorite desserts for any festive meal and surprisingly simple to make.
You can also fill the crepes with other fruit preserves like cherries, strawberries, and more, but cherries truly shine in this delightful combination.
For a small plate, use 4 crepes for this arrangement. The larger your presentation plate, the more sets of four crepes you should prepare.

Step by step
Step 1
Prepare the crepes using your favorite recipes. I often freeze them so I have some ready when I need a quick, delicious meal.
When I want something simple, I make crepes following my traditional recipe they're simple yet satisfying.
Step 2
Use the first 3 crepes to make rolls with cherries.
Simply arrange the cherries along the edge of each crepe.
Step 4
Repeat with all 3, then arrange them in a pyramid shape—2 on the bottom, 1 on top—on another crepe without cherries.
Roll this larger crepe, creating a roll with 3 smaller ones inside.
Step 5
This is how it should look.
I recommend making at least 2 of these large rolls, using 8 crepes total—perfect for a large platter or 2 smaller ones.
Step 6
Slice the roll into 1.5 cm thick pieces.
Set aside the ends for those who can't get enough, and only use the central pieces for presentation.
Step 7
Place the small rolls upright on the plate. It’s simple yet effective, don't you think?
You can then top them with whipped cream, beaten using this method.
Alternatively, make a runnier cream with plain cream, sugar, and vanilla, drizzling it over the crepes as a sauce.
Step 8
For added effect, sprinkle some coconut on top.
Enjoy your meal!
