Lighter Strawberry Cheesecake Crepes

Today, I have a dessert that will be perfect for Easter. These lighter strawberry cheesecake crepes will also work for brunch or breakfast on Easter morning too. We actually enjoyed these one night for dinner. For my WW Personal Points, they came out to 4 points per crepe.
The crepe itself isn’t much different than my traditional recipe. The ratio per egg to flour and milk is higher. There is also a little vanilla in these along with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. You also use non-stick cooking spray instead of butter to coat the pan. I was able to use my non-stick pan and not use anything else. I don’t like using non-stick cooking spray on my non-stick pans because it can ruin them.
Next is the filling.
I took my mousse in a minute recipe and swapped the pudding for sugar free pudding. I used the cheesecake pudding mix to make these strawberry cheesecake crepes. However, you can swap it for vanilla or chocolate for more variety. When I made these for my family I did one cheesecake pudding and one vanilla pudding. I tried both, I personally preferred the vanilla pudding version the best of the two.
I also used fat free Cool Whip instead of regular Cool Whip. You also use fresh sliced strawberries to fill and garnish the crepes. To make them look pretty, I use sugar free whipped heavy cream in the spray can along with some of the sliced strawberries. However, you could use fat free Cool Whip too. If you leave off the additional whipped cream or Cool Whip, it makes the 3 points per crepe.
