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