Directions
Prepare the Crepe Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg and milk together until well combined.
Sift in the flour, matcha powder, sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla powder.
Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Let the batter sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Cook the Crepes:
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and brush with a little oil.
Pour a small ladleful of batter into the center of the pan, tilting the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter thinly.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift, then flip carefully and cook for another 30 seconds.
Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate.
Prepare the Whipped Cream Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and continue to beat until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Assemble the Crepe Roll:
Lay a crepe flat on a clean surface.
Spread a generous amount of the whipped cream mixture over the crepe.
Add a line of diced strawberries along one edge of the crepe.
Carefully roll the crepe into a tight log, enclosing the filling.
Slice the roll into pieces, revealing the beautiful swirl of matcha, cream, and strawberries.
Serve:
Arrange the crepe roll slices on a serving plate.
Garnish with additional strawberries and a dusting of matcha powder or powdered sugar if desired.
Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Recipe Note
- Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the crepe batter and whipped cream filling ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, simply assemble the crepe rolls for a quick and impressive dessert.
- Customize Your Fillings: Experiment with different fillings to suit your taste preferences. Instead of strawberries, try using other fresh fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or sliced bananas. You can also add a sprinkle of nuts or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
- Perfecting Your Crepes: Achieving the ideal thin and delicate crepes may take a bit of practice. Be sure to tilt the pan immediately after pouring in the batter to spread it thinly and evenly. If your first crepe doesn't turn out perfectly, don't worry—practice makes perfect! Adjust the heat as needed to prevent the crepes from burning or sticking to the pan.
