Crêpes meet a jelly roll cake in this easy sheet pan dessert recipe. Filled with jam and whipped cream cheese, it’s a tangy-sweet treat to share.
Grease a 12x18-inch half-sheet rimmed baking sheet generously with nonstick cooking spray, making sure to get the sides and edges as well as the bottom. Set aside.
In a blender jar, combine the milk, eggs, flour, sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt. Blend on low to medium speed until the batter is perfectly smooth, at least 30 seconds. Stop the blender and use a rubber spatula to scrape down any unincorporated bits halfway through, if needed.
Pour the batter into the greased baking sheet and tip from side to side and front to back to spread into an even layer. Bake until the batter has puffed and the edges are golden brown, 16 to 20 minutes. Let the crêpe sheet cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
While the crêpe sheet is cooling, make the filling. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or in a medium bowl if using a hand mixer, combine the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Start whipping on medium-low speed and whip the cream, gradually increasing the speed to high as it builds up more air and thickness. Once you reach high speed, stop once the cream reaches soft peaks, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add the softened cream cheese in 4 additions, mixing on high speed for about 10 seconds to incorporate each addition. After the second addition, the whipped cream will get noticeably thicker; you’re doing great, keep going until it’s all incorporated. Set aside until ready to assemble
Use a butter knife to loosen the edges of the crêpe sheet from the edges of the pan. Using the butter knife or an offset spatula, slather the whipped cream cheese filling evenly over the whole surface of the crêpe sheet, going all the way to the edges. Spoon the preserves onto the whipped cream filling—I made 5 lines going the short way across the filling to result in defined areas of cream cheese filling and blueberry preserves in every slice.
Starting at a short end, roll the cake into a log. Transfer to a serving platter and dust with powdered sugar. Slice and serve with fresh berries as desired. Cover and refrigerate the assembled cake or leftovers for up to 5 days. The powdered sugar will dissolve over time, so a fresh dusting will be necessary before serving leftovers. Love the recipe?
