Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice optional, for extra tang
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk adjust for consistency
Instructions
Prepare the Cream Cheese:
- In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add Sweeteners and Flavors:
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using). Continue to beat until everything is well incorporated, and the filling is smooth.
Adjust Consistency:
- If the mixture is too thick, slowly add the heavy cream or milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing until you reach a creamy, spreadable consistency.
Fill the Crepes:
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over your crepes and roll them up. You can also top them with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for later use. If storing, place the filled crepes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
Notes:
- For extra flavor, fold in a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of almond extract.
- This filling pairs wonderfully with fruit, chocolate, or toasted nuts.
