For the crepes:  
Combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a  
medium size mixing bowl, combine the butter, milk, eggs and vanilla and  
whisk until blended. Add the liquid mixture a little at a time to the dry  
mixture, whisking to dissolve any lumps. Whisk until smooth. Refrigerate for  
1
hour.  
Lightly brush a 6−inch skillet with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat.  
When the pan is hot, remove from the heat and pour in 1/4 cup of the batter.  
Swirl the pan around to spread the batter evenly over the bottom. Return the  
pan to the heat and cook until lightly golden, 30 to 40 seconds. Turn the  
crepe over and cook the second side for about 15 seconds. Remove from the  
pan. Repeat the process until all of the batter is used, stacking the crepes  
between the squares of parchment or waxed paper to prevent them from  
sticking together. Set the crepes aside.  
For the filling:  
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the cream cheese  
until smooth. Add the sour cream, sugar, strawberries and vanilla. Beat  
until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Put 3
