  1. In a blender, blend eggs, sugar, melted butter, milk, cold water, flour and salt until smooth
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ladle about 3 oz. the batter into the pan, tilt the pan to spread the batter as thinly as possible.

You may cook until lightly browned if desired.

  4. Blend the cream cheese, Nutella, lemon juice, lemon zest, and rum extract with an electric mixer until smooth. Remove mixture from mixer and hand fold in the whipped cream. (reserve some whipped cream for garnish)
  5. To serve, fill crepes with cream cheese and Nutella mix and fresh berries. Garnish with Whipped cream, berries and fresh mint.
