Raspberry Creme Crepes
These Raspberry & Creme Crepes are my husband's favorite thing to eat for breakfast. Thankfully, they take very little active time and they are as quick and easy to make as pancakes.
People tend to shy away from making crepes because they believe they are difficult to make. Well, they're really not. Mine may not be textbook in appearance but they definitely taste delicious!
Crepes Without Using A Crepe Pan
Because I don't use a crepe pan, they don't come out perfectly round. I use a skillet and roll the skillet into a circular motion to get the crepe mix to thin and spread out.
The key to making crepes is to get the crepe to be thin, light, but still have some fluff to it.
After making the cream cheese mixture add 1 tablespoon to 1 ½ tablespoon to each crepe. This is probably my favorite part of the crepe because the filling is sweet without being too sweet... I'm guilty of eating just the filling!
Although, it does taste amazing with the raspberries.
Adding the raspberry compote makes every bite of these crepes full of fresh raspberry flavor. Just spread the compote over the cream cheese filling to give it good coverage and you'll get fresh raspberries in every bite! The combination is unbelievably good!
Topping these Raspberry & Creme crepes off with whipped cream and fresh raspberries makes every bite even more delicious and makes it even more appetizing. You surely won't have to twist any arms for anyone to give it a try.

I don’t own a crepe pan so I am inspired now to make some crepes. Love your fillings.

I can not find what quanity of raspberries or any ingredients for the compote. I made the cream filling and found a recipe for raspberry compote and they turned out wonderful. Had family over and everyone wanted me to make another batch. That's a pretty good review for any dessert.
Jessica Kerger says
Excellent! My son requested Raspberry Crepes for his 21rst Birthday breakfast and I used this recipe (doubled) and it was extremely well received! I suspect this will now become our whole family’s “Birthday Breakfast” request. True that there wasn’t instruction on the Compote, but easy enough to make: frozen raspberries heated through with sugar and lemon juice to taste, mix in a little cornstarch until thickened into a syrup. Yum!! Thank you!

Shoot. I mixed the filling and it's the consistency of buttermilk. It didn't work.
Dana says
Hey Kim!
If the filling is on the thicker side, adding a splash of milk a little at a time will help thin the filling out.
