4 oz. cream cheese, softened

Dough Prep: 

  1. Combine milk, eggs, flour, salt, and melted butter in a blender. Blend until smooth. Cover and chill 1 hour or up to overnight.

  1. Combine ricotta, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and egg in a food processor. Puree until smooth. Cover and chill until ready to use.

Prep the Blintz:

  1. Heat an 8 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush with melted butter. Pour about 3-4 tablespoons batter into skillet, swirling skillet to coat entire skillet with batter. Cook 30 seconds or until just set. Carefully flip crepe; cook 15 seconds to set bottom. Remove from skillet and repeat with remaining crepes.
  1. Place one crepe on a surface; spoon 2-3 tablespoons cheese filling into center of crepe. Fold two sides over filling and roll up, like a burrito (see video below at 0:25 for clarity of technique!). Repeat with remaining crepes and filling.
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add peaches and cook 5 minutes or until just beginning to break down. Add cinnamon and honey; cook 1 minute.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium. Add half of blintzes and cook 2 minutes per side or until golden. Repeat with remaining butter and blintzes. Serve warm blintzes with peach mixture spooned over the top. Dust with powdered sugar.
