Now for the sweet (and beautiful) crepe! Along with making the Green Onion Parmesan Crepe for our CTV Morning Live Mother’s Day special, we decided these red velvet crepes would be another great option. Not only are they delicious, but the vibrant colour looks quite impressive if I do say so myself!

- In a pan on medium heat, add strawberries and water.
- Cook for about 10-15 minutes before adding sugar. It will begin to reduce in this time, then add sugar to taste, allowing to continue cooking until syrup reaches desired thickness (thick enough to coat a spoon). Keep in mind it will get a little bit thicker as it cools down.
- In a bowl, combine heavy cream with sugar and vanilla to taste.
- Beat cream until you reach desired thickness.
Enjoy!
