Bonjour mes amis! Today, I’m delighted to share with you a luscious and irresistible Cream Cheese Crepe Filling. This recipe is perfect for adding that extra touch of decadence to your crepes, making every bite a delightful experience. Let's get started!

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz (227 g) cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream

  • A pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. This step is crucial for achieving a silky filling.

  2. Add the Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese, continuing to beat until fully incorporated. Then, mix in the vanilla extract for that classic flavor.

  3. Incorporate the Heavy Cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to beat the mixture. This will lighten the texture of the filling, making it perfect for spreading or piping.

  4. Season with Salt: Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors and balance the sweetness of the filling.

  5. Chill the Filling: For best results, refrigerate the filling for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help it firm up slightly, making it easier to handle.

Serving Suggestions:

This Cream Cheese Crepe Filling is incredibly versatile and pairs wonderfully with a variety of toppings. Here are a few ideas:

  • Fresh berries or a berry compote

  • Sliced bananas and a drizzle of honey

  • A dusting of powdered sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon

  • A few toasted nuts for a bit of crunch

Whether you’re preparing breakfast, brunch, or a delightful dessert, this Cream Cheese Crepe Filling will elevate your crepes to a whole new level of deliciousness. Enjoy!

Bon appétit!
