Steps:

• Blend eggs, milk, 1/2 cup cream, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla with flour, salt, 1/4 cup confectioners sugar, and 1 teaspoon zest in a blender until just smooth.
• Brush a 10-inch nonstick skillet lightly with some of melted butter, then heat over medium-high heat until hot.

• Continue making crepes, brush the skillet with a little bit of butter or oil every time, and stacking on the plate.
• Beat remaining 2 1/2 cups cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 3/4 cup confectioners sugar, 1 teaspoon zest, and Grand Marnier in a large deep bowl with an electric mixer until cream holds stiff peaks.
• Center a crepe on a big serving plate and spread with 1/4 cup cream.
