   Add the starch, stirring constantly, and bring the cherry mixture to a boil.

9. 9

   For the cheese filling, combine the farmer cheese, vanilla sugar, powdered sugar, and cream.

    Blend the cheese mixture until creamy.

    Fill the crêpes with the cheese filling and cherry confit, then roll them up.

Notes

The author notes that she used 1.5 tbsp of starch for the confit. The crêpes must rest for a while after being rolled so they can absorb the confit.
