To fill each crepe, take one crepe and spoon in about 2-3 tablespoons of the creamy ricotta mixture followed by a generous spoonful of the sliced strawberries. Fold the crepe over to enclose the filling and gently place it on a serving plate.

Once all crepes are filled, top them with the remaining strawberry mixture and a drizzle of any juices that may have formed. Optionally, you can dust with extra powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
