Directions:For the Crêpes
Pour milk and eggs into your blender and blend on high for 2 minutes. Add flour and sugar and blend on high for 2-3 minutes. Scrape sides of blender with a spatula and add melted and blend for another 2 minutes. Place batter in the fridge for 1 hour to rest for best texture.
Heat a non-stick coated skillet on medium high heat for 2-3 minutes. You want to make sure your pan gets nice and hot before pouring batter into the pan. Brush the pan with melted butter to coat the pan's surface. Pour about a 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the pan and then lift the pan off of the burner and tip the pan to swirl the batter out to the edges to form a thin circular shape. Return pan to the burner and after about 15-20 seconds carefully work a spatula underneath your crepe and flip it over to the cook the other side. Cook for 15-20 seconds and remove to a warming dish. Continue brushing your pan with butter before each crêpe is made. Continue until all the batter is used.
For the Cheese Filling
Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend on high until smooth and creamy.
For the Blueberry Sauce
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, 1/2 cup of water, sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a low boil stirring frequently.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water.
Slowly stir the corn starch mixture into the blueberries.
Simmer until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and lemon zest.
Can be served warm or cooled.
How to make the blintzes
Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F.
Place a couple of tablespoons of the cheese filling in the center of one of the crêpes. Roll up like a burrito tucking the ends so that the cheese does not seep out.
Place in a 9x11 baking dish and continue making the rest of the blintzes.
Place blintzes in the oven on the center rack. Bake for ten minutes. Serve immediately with blueberry sauce and toppings. |

Yes, you can freeze your Cheese Blintzes for up to one month. However, I would recommend freezing them without the Homemade Blueberry Sauce.
